The only thing I can't figure out is why Carole Lombard playing a movie star very
much like Carole Lombard in Fools For Scandal is why she was going out with a
drip like Ralph Bellamy in the first place? Can someone answer that question?
I can't imagine her ever coming in contact with him except to buy insurance.
Fools For Scandal has Lombard over in Paris where she meets a penniless count played by Fernand Gravey who gets by on wit, charm and little else. He encounters Lombard and manages to charm his way into her household and he turns out to be a pretty good cook. The man has a way with Crepe Suzettes.
Of course this continental charmer is good also at getting Ralph Bellamy's goat. But that's the whole idea. Bellamy gets more than a few laughs with his exasperation.
Fools For Scandal is not one of Lombard's really great films, but it certainly will satisfy her legion of fans. There's also nice parts for Marie Wilson as Lombard's maid as her usual vacuous self and Allen Jenkins who is Gravey's American friend from Brooklyn.
Now how did those two get together?
