Ann Dvorak is the real star of this film

Wishy washy title but saw that it was billed as screwball comedy and had gotten some good reviews on IMDb so it ended up as my pick for 'movie night' in our home. I was not familiar with Ann Dvorak who was getting secondary billing in this movie but once she was introduced to the story the movie picked up... and she stole every scene. I want to see more of her in comedy films and hope that there are some. George Brent deserves some kudos also as the main foil in this screwball comedy. He did a nice job. If you have a chance to watch this film then do it. The opening scene is weak but it really picks up after that and does not stop until credits are ready to roll at the end.

Quotes
Olive Jenson: I have a bad heart and when I pass out I really pass out. People tell me I look positively dead.
David Gelleo: Then Earthleigh must have thought he'd killed you. So he dumps you on my terrace.
Deborah Tyler: Why, that's terrible. I never heard of such a thing.
David Gelleo: How do you like that? You can't even bury a bone on his terrace but he can throw his old dead bodies on mine.
Olive Jenson: Who's an old dead body?
