I don't usually bother to make a "user review" to movies because others do it so much better than me. However, I saw that there were only two reviews here, and no substantial external reviews and that the film got a (high) 6.8 vote. Therefore, I felt it was my civic duty to warn the viewing public.
I am a big fan of Myrna Loy and Melvyn Douglas. I saw the 3 out of 4 star rating in my TV listing. The plot seemed liked a delightful screwball comedy -- Myrna Loy is a powerful head of a magazine who pretends to be married for business and social reasons. I was all geared up to enjoy the movie. It started out OK, as do most movies, but it turned out to be so wordy, boring, action-less, painful and lengthy, that I deserve an award for seeing it to the end. (That a black actor --the train porter who studied law via a correspondence course-- had an important, decent role at the end in this 1940 movie was quite commendable.)
