Came off gorgeously well. They real turning point was the jail sequence. Loved that one! The playful rich girl Loretta Young loving her jail time because she put Tyrone Power, her hot-shot joke reporter in jail too. And with that small town judge Slim Summerville and his run down prison it made for plenty laughs! Then there was his emotional and violent news paper friend Don Ameche punching down anyone he wanted! Not to mention the alcohol checkers on the bar room floor!

I often don't dig screwball comedy that much, but this one has a more inventive plot than usual: a heiress who's the star du jour of the society pages gets tricked by a reporter into granting an exclusive interview that she thought was just friendly conversation, so she turns the tables on him by telling all the other gossip-hacks that she's just become engaged to him. This movie hasn't aged all that well; however, enough of the twists and scenes and gags are clever enough for this to work

The alcohol chess seems so fun and I would have rated this version higher over its remake if it wasn’t so racist with the depiction of that black driver, horrendous

Pretty good. Slightly better than the Gene Tierney starring remake, although I preferred Tierney in the role. It's a pleasant screwball comedy with enough hijinks to keep you occupied. Do you think all the former journalist screenwriters in Hollywood thought every movie of the era had to revolve around a press room?
