Quite witty & charming.
by filmfun1999-06-13
8/10

"Really well done adaptation of the play to the screen. Rather wordy as was most early 1930's films, but quite charming nevertheless. And, indeed, rather risque for its day since there is a supposition at one point that Ann Harding's character, Joan, in trying to trap William Powell into marriage, is giving pre-marital favors and is actually caught in the process. The chemistry between Harding and Powell is quite good and it is unfortunate that the two were never paired again in another film...."

💡 Did You Know?

This film hadn't been shown for decades and was found in a Merian C. Cooper collection that had been used for television. A 2½-minute sequence that had been cut from the print was located in a French negative discovered in the National Center for Cinematography in France and restored to the print. The brief segment had been cut for television because it indicated that the characters of Joan Colby and John Fletcher were having pre-marital sex.
