Blondell & Farrell are excellent. Blondell was edible. This was very funny and I laughed often throughout it. Great dialogue and its loaded with wisecracks. I could've watched it for hours. Tremendous fun to watch.

Trivia
When Sadie tells Mae that the surest place to find Duffy is at "Sloppy Moe's" - that is undoubtedly a reference to the original Sloppy Joe's Bar in Old Havana, Cuba. Financially devastated by the 1959 revolution and finally closed by a fire in the 1960's, it has been restored and reopened in 2013.

Goofs
When Duffy comes over to Mae and Sadie's hotel room to open a bottle of beer; he ends up spraying beer on Mae's dress and staining it. But on the very next cut when Mae goes to check on Deacon, her dress is now clean and stain free.

Quotes
Mae Knight: I was laid off for turning down a stag affair in Passaic.
Sadie Appleby: Well, I don't blame ya. We've still got a little pride left. You're not so low you have to let 'em throw pennies at ya!
Mae Knight: Throw 'em? In Passaic, they use slinghots.
