Marvellous teaming of Lombard and Powell (one of his best roles) resulted from wanting a comedy with energy, which by default almost always leads you back to the Golden Age of Sturges, Hawks, Wilder et al (with the exceptions of the odd Bogdanovich or Edgar Wright).
Let's sort out who's who:
 |
| Gail Patrick |
 |
| Alice Brady, with Mischa Auer and Eugene Pallette |
 |
| Jean Dixon |
Legend release, 'beautifully restored' is just as fuzzy as all the other releases - Criterion surely the only way to go, which I told myself in
February 2015 review! Only watched it
last April. A great favourite.
