Editorial Reviews

Spencer Tracy, Myrna Loy, and William Powell star in this crackling screwball comedy about a cut-throat newspaper editor's scheme to prevent a libel suit that ends up exploding in everybody's face. Tracy plays Warren Haggerty, the managing editor of a newspaper that mistakenly prints a story declaring the rich Connie Allenbury (Myrna Loy) has stolen away another woman's husband. Connie retaliates by suing the paper for $5 million. This happens right before Warren is about to marry his fiancee Gladys (Jean Harlow). As he has done several times in the past, Warren delays the wedding in order to stop the libel suit. Warren hires Bill Chandler (William Powell), a former employer who is desperate for a job, to marry Gladys in name only and then court Connie. That way, Gladys can sue Connie for alienation of affections and get Connie to agree to drop her lawsuit if Gladys will drop hers. Bill hops an ocean liner to accompany Connie and her father (Walter Connolly) back to the United States, but along the way Bill and Connie fall in love and Bill tries to convince Gladys to drop her suit so it won't hinder his relationship with Connie.

January 01, 2007: This movie was great. Once again William Powell and Myrna Loy pull off a fantastic acting job. They are absolutely wonderful together. This movie rates right up with the Thin Man series. I would definitely recommend this movie. Even if you're not a fan of old movies, you'll definitely enjoy this. Great story line!!!

May 19, 2005: You might think at first glance, "another old black & white ancient movie". But this one is entertaining. The cast including William Powell, Myrna Loy, Jean Harlow and Spencer Tracy bring this little ditty along and keep you sucked in so that its hard to run of the the fridge, a very nice ride.
