Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

mark.waltz In an era when Barbara Stanwyck, Katharine Hepburn, Claudette Colbert, Joan Bennett, Constance Bennett, Joan Crawford, Jean Harlow and Carole Lombard were all making an effort to show the screwy rich girl trying to deal with wacky families, gold digging men and boggling business careers with relationships, the new big star on the block, Bette Davis, decided to join them. Fresh from her Oscar Winning role in "Dangerous", Davis had not yet set the box office world on its ear, although that was imminent. Warner Brothers, not sure yet how to handle the rising temperamental diva to be, tried her in a variety of types of films, and for a few of those, she went down "Screwball Lane" to show how those popped-eyed gestures could add oomph to witty wisecracks and wacky situations.Here, she's an heiress surrounded by typical social-climbing men and to get around them, she convinces a struggling reporter (George Brent) to marry her for convenience. She already has a fiancée, it seems, but he's too droll and effete to take seriously. Brent's the type who isn't above using a little manly force to keep his women in line, and while he agrees to the charade, he's not about to let her control him. She, it seems too, isn't above a little slumming, and in one of the film's most memorable scenes, ends up with him on a twirling ferris wheel. Later, there's confusion concerning black eyes which each of them get (memorably utilized on one of the film's posters), and it is obvious that this cave man stuff is exactly what she needs to bring her even slightly down to earth.While Davis is of course best known for drama, she had been tried out by Warners in comedy before, mostly supporting parts, and here, she is a game girl in a genre she would infrequently try again with sometimes mixed results. George Brent, who co-starred with most of the actresses I mention above (and frequently with Davis during their long stays at Warners), is as comfortable in this type of role as he would be in their romantic dramas, and it is the two stars who make this film worth watching. The rest of the cast (including major character star Eugene Palette) is pretty much wasted although they get brief moments to shine.

Boba_Fett1138 At first sight this movie doesn't look like a particular great one. After all a Bette Davis movies with only 166 votes on IMDb and a rating of 6,5 must be a rather bad one. But the movie turned out to be a delightful and original surprise.You would at first expect that this is a normal average typical '30's movie with a formulaic love-story but the movie is surprisingly well constructed and has an unusual and original story, which also helps to make this movie a very pleasant one to watch.The story is carried by its two main characters played by Bette Davis and George Brent. Their helped by a cast of mostly amusing characters but the movie mainly involves just around them two. Their character are involved in a most unusual and clever written love-story that work humorous as well. It makes this movie a delightful little comedy to watch, that is perfectly entertaining.The movie is quite short (just over an hour long), which means that the story doesn't waste any time on needless plot lines, development and characters. It makes the movie also rather fast paced, which helps to make this movie a perfectly watchable one by todays standards as well. It does perhaps makes the movie a bit of a simple one at times but this never goes at the expense of its entertainment or fun.A delightful pleasant simple romantic-comedy that deserves to be seen by more!8/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

David (Handlinghandel) George Brent is a reporter sent to interview an heiress. She is supposedly the heir to a face cream fortune. He interviews her on her yacht. They fall for each other in bathing costumes.It turns out (quite early) that she is not an heiress. She part of an advertising campaign for the cold cream.The movie follows the ups and downs of their romance.The supporting cast does little to buoy it up. Davis and Brent carry the picture. Though it's fairly predictable, it is also fairly entertaining. It's far from her best. But, especially considering its obscurity in her oeuvre, it's not one of her worst, either.

movingpicturegal Weak film about facial cream heiress Daisy Appleby (Bette Davis) and her escapades in Florida, where she lounges around her yacht in unflattering swimsuit, and gets herself chased around the Casino by all sorts of European barons and dukes after her for her money. When she meets a reporter (George Brent) who is such a normal, straight-laced, and somewhat handsome All-American guy, she quickly falls for him. Then, to get the fortune hunters off her back, she convinces him to enter into a "marriage of convenience" with her, but in actuality, she is in love with him - and, not completely who she seems either.Well, this movie is pretty so-so. Bette Davis is great, as usual, but George Brent is a real stiff here, and the actress who plays Daisy's rival, "the richest girl in the world", is really, not a very good actress. Eugene Palette adds a spark of life to this film, but, unfortunately, only has a few brief scenes. Probably best for Bette Davis fans only.
