| User ReviewTara HNot one of Carole Lombard's most popular films, but personally I loved her tender performance and chemistry with Fred McMurray, set against a jazz world backdrop. |
| User ReviewGreg WBoy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl again, roll credits. The charisma of the stars carry the well known story then, and they don't do too badly at all. Look for Anthony Quinn and Dorothy Lamour in smaller parts before they were big time box office draws. MacMurray has to Act like he's playing a trumpet the whole film and I don't think he could play a lick, so that's something. |
