This a a very funny Harlow comedy. Jean Harlow is fantastic in it as the spoiled heiress. More than anything, what impressed me about this film is actor Robert Williams. He is so natural and likable that the film really belongs to him. I was sorry to learn that he died not long after this film was released. I'm sure if he had lived he would have been a huge star. Watch this film, if for no other reason, than to see his excellent performance.
