This is a pot boiler from the thirties but is worth seeing because of Irene Dunne. She had the most impeccable comedic timing of any actress. Nominated for best actress five times she never won an Oscar, a real injustice. The Academy never honored her with a lifetime achievement award either. The script is witty and somewhat daring for its time. There is implied adulterous sex. I enjoyed seeing Charles Starrett in a supporting role. He later became famous in B westerns as the Durango Kid. Sidney Blackmer was also featured and he is best remembered as Roman Castevets the warlock in Rosemary's Baby. Take a bite of this confection; it is short sweet and to the point.

They don't make movies like this any more and it is a good thing. For as Molly used to say, "tain't funny Mcgee." How can you take a brilliant cast and a talented director and come up with a long, dull, repetitive, completely unfunny film. IMHO there is not one funny scene or line in the entire film. The scenes in the movie make scenarios from the Three Stooges look like sophisticated drawing room comedies and the script makes the Stooges seem Shakesperean. I love slapstick when it is original and funny neither of which describes the action here. Repeated car crashes, really hilarious. What was Spencer Tracy thinking when he signed up for this?
