Watching Carole Lombard makes the whole film worth seeing, but it is not an otherwise pleasant experience.
There are touches one must see, such as the expression on the face of Peter, butler to Allen Macklin, as the manicurist departs. That should reach the heart of any empathetic viewer.
Ralph Bellamy has one of his best roles, though it's a thankless one.
Fred MacMurray looked great and his character could have been likable, except he really isn't -- at least to me.
Seeing Marie Prevost in her role as Nona was rather shocking, at least to one who had seen her as "The Godless Girl." She showed she had a lot of talent for character roles.
Watch it, sure, but be prepared to be disappointed in the movie as a whole. Director Leisen has done better, much better.
