One of the best examples of the brittle, pseudo-cynical style of Hollywood comedy of the 1934-1936 period, which led to the `screwball' comedies of the end of the decade. Carole Lombard sparkles in a screenplay that steers perfectly the difficult course between reality, humour and sentimentality. Said one contemporary critic: `The story is as slender as a young willow, but before the film comes to an end a bat has been made out of it which sends almost everything to the boundary'.
