Auto magnate James Buchanan has a fiancée who doesn't love him and a board of directors who won't listen to him.

About as substantial as fairy floss and about as sweet............but if you're in the mood for some 30's era silly romance this isn't bad at all and thoroughly watchable. Good performances all round and some giggles. Rated 70 where 70 means- not a classic but a good one in the 30's rom-com style. Will certainly bring a smile to your face if you're looking for an older style of movie. This one may be pleasant surprise, it was for me.

Well, Jean Arthur is pretty cute. Otherwise, the languid pace and jokes that pretty much require a rubber chicken to pull off kind of sink this one.

Mild and effective screwball comedy with helpful gangsters and a millionaire in disguise. Herbert Marshall take a little time-out from the car manufacture business and fiancés to meet and share in the life of a charming lady he meets at a park bench. Jean Arthur is a girl out of luck searching for a job and together they get a gig as cook and butler for the mob. The gangster duo Leo Carrillo & Lionel Stander are the real treat while Marshall is the calm gentleman and Arthur the silly woman.
