Had never heard of this movie until I saw it on YT. It's the first movie where I've seen Stewart play an unlikable character, one who bounces from being somewhat OK to downright sinister and nasty. So it makes absolutely no sense when Colbert, who plays her typical, flamboyant high energy persona, falls in love with Stewart. He punched her out(for no plausible reason)....and she even says no man gets away with that.....and yet she still loves him????? The slang dialogue was interesting and might be considered poor taste. Colbert kept insisting she be "dumped" off. Stewart described how a bullet to the head would make "brains" ooze out. Stewart claims all women, contrasted to men, are "dumb", but that Colbert might be the lone exception. None of this is very funny except for its sheer "shock" value. The two talented leads did what they could with a poor script. Sadly, it didn't work.
