This is a Myrna/Billy comedy. What's not to love?
We are not keen on slapstick. And William and Myrna are justifiably more noted for their sexy, character-based humor than for anything visual. But we think the yarn/turntable/drag scene is one of the great moments in movies. (And if you've been trolling this site, you know the scene was shot at the cost of a great mustache.)
Jack Carson's a plus too, as Willowby, Ward Willowby, though it's a hard sell to believe that anyone, (especially cute Myrna) could think of preferring him to William Powell. Jack Carson is the master of the obnoxious creep in all his movie appearances.
This is a great movie.
