As far as screwball comedies of the 30s go, this one felt sub-par for me. It was hamstrung at times by poor direction and editing, most notably with several scenes that just felt like they dragged. A 90-minute screwball shouldn’t feel like it outstays its welcome, but this one did at times.

William Powell continues to do no wrong, in my eyes, but I feel he lacked a connection with Carole Lombard here (because/despite? having divorced her three years prior) that ultimately made the central romance angle not very compelling. When compared to Hepburn/Grant, Russell/Grant, or Stanwyck/Fonda, I just didn’t find myself as invested here.
