Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzThis is not one of the better pairings of the charismatic Loy and Powell duo.
User Review - 8/10 by Katie RI love Powell and Loy! Their films are always centered around situational comedy!
User Review - 8/10 by Daniel KMy favorite screen couple. The script seems to come off as a lesser relative of Manahttan Melodrama. Not how the movie would be made today. There would be actual affairs rather than just the appearance of them.
User Review - 8/10 by Justin MThis might be Myrna's best dramatic performance.
User Review - 8/10 by Aj VI like this one much better than Manhattan Melodrama. Really, Loy is fantastic at drama and Powell almost as good. Gorgeous outfits as well, if you go in for this stuff.
User Review - 8/10 by Edith NEntertaining melodrama that does not outstay its welcome, even if Powell is not ideally suited to conveying anguish -- though Loy does a fine job with her hand-to-brow role. Features (a bit pointlessly) the fine talents of Una Merkel. The preview is priceless: they had no idea how to market it, so they marketed it as a screwball-comedy/mystery/sexual-sleaze/domestic-tragedy movie. No cowboys.
User Review - 8/10 by Dan Sfeels like another lost thin man pic but it isn't.
User Review - 6/10 by Allan CAmazing costumes, but a distinct lack of attention to John Prentice's own philandering is par for the course for Hollywood.
User Review - 4/10 by Russell GIt's one of two dramatic pairings of Powell and Loy (well, three if you count "The Great Ziegfeld")--it's melodrama at its soapiest, as Loy cheats on husband Powell and pays for it for the rest of the film. The chemistry between Powell and Loy can't make us for a flat and depressing script. You end up wishing they'd crack a smile once in a while.
User Review - 4/10 by Joe SVery episodic and overwrought drama with Myrna succumbing to the overacting bug at times and Powell rather stiff. The best performances come from the supporting players, Isabel Jewell as a wronged woman and especially Una Merkel who single handedly saves this from total soap opera with her terrific wisecracking. Rosalind Russell made her film debut here but is wasted as a devious society harlot. The ending is too precious for words.
