I love old films as much as I despise modern pop culture (which is a lot). I love the glamour in old films, the sophistication, the wit, the lack of foul language, vulgarity and mindless sex.
Unfortunately, and just to prove things are never perfect, one sad characteristic of 1930s film making is that they seemed to believe that comedy should consist of people acting frantically and shouting at the top of their voices. This film is an example. I sat there thinking, "Man, this film started yesterday." Finally, the constant shouting and silly humor got on my nerves and I had to turn it off. Too bad because the cast is top notch. But it just did not do it for me.
