Now I was too young to see Miss Harlow in this riotous comedy in 1932,I was all of 4 years old.
I finally did see it when I was a teen at the MOMA in NYC. I am sure I liked it,
I saw it again last night as part of a double bill with Waterloo Bridge (1931). it was part of the Forbidden Hollywod collection from NETFLIX.
It is still a very funny albeit very very stupid, using todays films as a guideline.
This was one Jean Harlow's first films, What an comic she was, It was & still is a shame that she left us in 1937 at only 26 years old. We lost a bright comet then. She is great as a gold-digger who uses men as her playthings.
Chester Morris was her co-star,He already was a veteran actor and was a much better one than many believe. When his contract at MGM was over he went to Monogram & made the Boston Blackie , private eye series of films,. They did nothing to help his career,
Jack Conway directed & Anitra Loos wrote a witty screenplay based on a novel.
Also appearing are Una Merkel, May Robson & Lewis Stone.
Slickly produce by Irving Thalberg (no title credit)
Rating: *** (out of 4) 82 POINTS (OUT OF 1) IMDb 7 (out of 10)
