"I enjoyed this smart romantic comedy with a fantastic cast: Spencer Tracy, William Powell, Myrna Loy, and Jean Harlow. I can see clearly the incredible chemistry of William Powell and Myrna Loy, and their easygoing relationship; it is certainly the reason why they filmed 5 Thin Man movies together. William and Myrna play the roles of an unlikely couple caught up in a scheme set up by fast-talking newspaper editor Spencer Tracy. Jean Harlow plays the object of Spencer's sometimes affection. The plot was slow at times, but there were enough comic scenes to make up for it. Overall, this is a smart comedy with good acting."
