William Powell is in eccentric mode as fur coat-wearing, trailer domiciled director type who has fallen in with Florence Rice and fiancé John Beal (who's rather funny in gormless role), but will inevitably end up with Rice's controlling sister Myrna Loy. Jessie Ralph (After the Thin Man) entertaining as older friend of Loy (and, it turns out - Powell, who's 'Charlie Horse' to her 'Stonewall'). Very messy attempted wedding in trailer (which looks like it's parked on the MGM backlot) is highlight.
