Oil heiress Joan is going to elope with bandleader Allen whom she's known four days. Out-of-money pilot Steve is going to fly them to Nevada but makes a deal with her father to deliver her home unmarried. He flies off with her, an apparent kidnaping, but is forced down in the desert. The bandleader arrives with a preacher, but their marriage (in California, not Nevada) is not valid. Pilot Steve will marry her because her father is a millionaire. (imdb)

Cute kidnapping with James Cagney & Bette Davis basically doing their version of It Happened One Night (1934). Rougher.... but too lightweight for their caliber.

Some minor flaws, but overall quite nice movie.

Cute film from Warners with two of their top tier actors in the lead. But I can see why Bette Davis revolted against being forced into parts such as this one. She really doesn't have much to sink her teeth into.

"We've had horse thieves in our family, but no tenors!" Eugene Pallette is, by a lot, the best thing in this rather dumb rom-com. Jack Carson is a welcome presence, too. Pauline Kael: "The material is very tired and the production is so unpretentious it suggests financial embarrassment, but Davis shrieks her lines happily, and Cagney sticks out his ample gut and holds his ground. Both of them mug good-naturedly, and it's pleasantly fast." She is kinder to the leads than I'm inclined to be.

This film is corny, but OMG is it good corn. I only watched it on a whim but enjoyed the heck out of my time with it. If you think Cagney is only capable of playing a gangster, or Davis is only a kook, think again. This film will charm your pants off. Clever, well-written, well-acted.
