Sadly, this cinematic piece of garbage was Norma Shearer's swan song. That's the most upsetting thing about this picture that probably never should have been made in the first place. It's also regrettable that the great George Cukor signed on to direct this mess. Even his magic couldn't save the film from itself. It's a simple plot, Robert Taylor trying to score points with Shearer as she fends off the advances of her ex played by George Sanders. The only saving grace is the reliable Elizabeth Patterson who, in my opinion, steals the movie from these three Hollywood heavyweights.

Bad writing, mediocre direction (sorry George) and a terrible script are responsible for these awful performances. They did the best they could, I suppose, given what they had to work with. 'Her Cardboard Lover' is a waste of 93 minutes which we'll never recoup.
