| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonThe dialogue slackens after the first half hour, but the stars have some fine comic moments together, and the intimate precode encounters are pretty sexy. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThis light, carefree, well-acted romantic comedy, the only film Gable made with future wife Carole Lomabrd, is directed by Charles Ruggles, riding high after his success with the 1931 Oscar-winning Western Cimarron. |
| The New York TimesMordaunt HallWell acted and clearly photographed little drama of musical hall life in Paris. |
| User ReviewJennifer TThe only screen pairing of future real life husband and wife Clark Gable and Carole Lombard. Devastated by her death in a 1942 plane crash, Gable never got over losing her. After being widowed by Lombard (and despite marrying two more times) when Gable died 18 years later, his then pregnant wife/widow, Kay Spreckles, laid him to rest next to Lombard, as he had requested. |
| User ReviewTim HWhile being a really stand-up movie, it lacks substance and really anything memorable. But remember, a really stand up movie is a really stand up movie. |
| User ReviewReiyan BWorth watching if for no other reason than to see future husband and wife Gable and Lombard together on screen. |
| User ReviewK DI really loved the chemistry between Lombard and Gable in this film. It was unique in the fact that you could really feel it growing in the film and it wasn't just a single level throughout. |
| User ReviewMaria FGreat old movie with the handsome Clark Gable...Very good... |
| User ReviewTracey clove the chemistry between Gable and Lombard, wonderful film. Clark Gable is so hot in this film... i can see why he was chosen to play Rhett Butler, he has this mischievious smile, that says look out honey, i am nothing but trouble. |
| User ReviewPrivate UI watched this because she's a librarian. She abandons her career shortly into the movie though. :( |
