Title: NOT A GREAT FILM, BUT......
Review: No, I wouldn't say this is a great film; nor, is it in the same league as what she was to do in the relatively short career that lay ahead of her. However, it is a delightful relief from the cares of a hard day. In fact, that was the intention of many comedy-makers in 1930's, to give people a break, in those pre-commercial television days, from the worst economic depression in American history. No doubt it could not make much of a dent in the gloom of those facing very real hardship in putting a roof over their head and food on their table, but for those whose suffering was less, it was a tonic. Watch it! No hidden critique of the capitalist system, no meaning that is not on the surface, designed only for a laugh or two. Above all, perhaps, a chance to see one of the most spirit-raising actresses ever to appear on a movie screen
