I might have been able to enjoy this movie more if John Barrymore and Carole Lomabard had toned it down a bit. As it is I was praying for the credits to roll after about an hour due to all the shouting and over-acting.

Barrymore delivers a strong performance, Lombard is very likable and the comedy is good. It's a shame so much of the film relies on whining and histrionics, though, because it gets rather painful to watch at times.

A witty and entertaining early screwball comedy, with Lombard and Barrymore handing in terrific self-abasing performances as histrionic theater types.

A superior screwball comedy directed at a frenetic pace. Barrymore and Lombard are hilarious as a pair of battling egomaniacs. Not to be missed.

A lot of screwball comedies haven't aged well, but this one still works often enough
