I have been a Madge Evans fan for 55 years, and I believe this movie is among her best. Not only is she at her most beautiful, her acting is extremely touching because she is at her most vulnerable. Madge Evans is the wealthy daughter of an English man who falls in love with a poor playwright. (Robert Montgomery).
Madge Evans had a contract at MGM for 5 years before they dropped her. Irving Thalberg was a genius, but he missed the chance to make Madge Evans a huge star. She does comedy and drama equally well.
This movie is truly a little gem that you will treasure. Unfortunately, it is not available on DVD, but you can catch it on TCM. Enjoy!

I do not enjoy many comedies today because they are not well written and are far too raunchy. What a nice experience to find a funny comedy with a powerful social message. It shows how a Baby Boomer comic icon with a 30 year old TV show with multiple Emmy's can face the challenge of being relevant in the Millennials era. It also shows the difficulty women of color still have adapting to a male oriented comedy writer team.
Although both the main characters can be annoying at times, there is real chemistry among the actors.
After a funny and thought provoking movie, it is nice that we can still have a movie with a happy ending.
Enjoy a night out with one of the best movies of the year!
