4 top stars in one screwball comedy! And it delivers! Yes, siree! The deceiving, the plotting, the games.... the poor saps! Just watching Powell the fisherman or the boxer will make anyone laugh! Jean Harlow had to be toned down with the Hays Code, but she's still full of fire! So was Tracy. Two of a kind! Loy always has the chemistry with Powell! There might have been a point in the middle there where it lost some of it's steam, but they sure made up for it with that final confrontation!

The Powell-Loy magic continues. The pairing of Tracy and Harlow is considerably less enthralling, perhaps due to their characters being a good deal less sympathetic; Tracy's performance is pretty conventional, while Harlow is one and a half hours of battleax. Features one glorious moment of screen innuendo (Harlow to driver: "Can't you go any faster?" Driver to Harlow: "I can, but this cab can't.")

A comedy that, unfortunately, gets less funny and more complicated as it progresses.

I avoided this film for years because I've never much cared for the acting "talents" of Jean Harlow. Plus, I made the mistake of thinking this was a drama, not a comedy. When it was about to start on TCM, Robert Osborne mentioned that it was considered a screwball classic, so I decided to give it a shot. Turned out to be a well scripted farce with great performances from Myrna Loy, William Powell and Walter Connolly. Harlow and Tracy's performances both felt a bit forced.

Far too little stands out from this standard MGM screwball to interest all but the diehard '30's romcom fanatics. It didn't help that I thought Spencer Tracy was completely miscast - I couldn't for a minute believe he was THAT stupid. Luckily for him, it's carried by that MGM opulence and inter-innuendo-weaving dialogue.

I didn’t really like Gladys or newspaper man, they were kind of annoying, but they can’t ruin a movie when William Powell and Mynra Loy are in it, filling the screen with charisma and chemistry, I just love them

"More intriguing for behind-the-scenes gossip than its rather familiar screwball comedy machinations." - Jeremiah Kipp

Cleverly written screwball comedy, with sharp dialogue, a good set up and a surprising ending. It seems to meander a bit in the middle, but the chemistry between Loy and Powell keeps the whole thing moving.
