Exceptionally good screwball comedy
Funny and intelligent comedy features a brilliant performance by Barrymore, spoofing his earlier “Svengali” role. He looks and acts a lot like Peter Sellars would in later similar performances; now morose, then practically jumping with energy. Lombard also turns in a right-on performance.Here is a film where Hawks really finds his mark, because the comedic action is perfectly timed, flows nicely, and feels natural, and even includes some early Hawks “overlapping dialogue”.
Hardly a dull moment, miles above its peers.
