This well-crafted, dark but zany comedic film doesn't really need another review here, but I do want to make potential viewers aware how strong and clear the sound is, so much so that I had to take a few breaks through the viewing of the film to let my ears cool off a bit. Carole Lombard in particular delivered her dialog with much high-energy verve and exuberance as well as offering vocal sound effects of various kinds. Gee, she had such screen presence and vitality, which is very well captured here. Una Merkel provides another of her well-offered girlfriend roles, while Fred MacMurray does a noble job of not really having much to do except let Lombard be Lombard. However, he, character actor Tom Dugan, and the girls have a delightful interplay during the typewriter scene that I enjoyed more than once. The film unfolds with a series of segments in varied settings and locales, all vividly capturing the art deco era of the 1930s, including the vernacular costuming. This is a very satisfying and fun comedy with great cast, naturally flowing dialog, and easy-going direction that most folks becoming aware of this film here at IMDb would enjoy.
