Precode in the vain of the 'screwballs'
11 June 2023
A light comedy, in the vein of what would later be 'screwballs', with some specific detail that affects the outcome, which only a few years later, with the approval of the Hays Code, would have been censored.

Although it is a story that we have seen more times since then, the one about the rich girl who, in order to be wanted for herself, pretends to be something else, giving rise to a series of misunderstandings, is seen quite pleasantly, thanks to the good interpretations.

Despite the predictability of the plot and the fact that the characters lack some substance, it contains scenes with a certain magic every time Miriam Hopkins and Joel McCrea are together. The couple would later make four more films together, to take advantage of that chemistry.
