The first pairing of Crawford and Gable is Good.
Both would go on to improve as the talkies continued to get better technically. The film I viewed had an excessive amount of scratches, although it was probably the best print available.
The basic plot of the film needs work. It can't seem to stick to one theme and execute it before moving on to something else.
The hysterical theatrics involved in the film do not necessarily reflect the times as this kind of reaction was only seen in the movies -- as we see here.
Nevertheless, it's good enough to watch, and it's a movie you like despite the ridiculous ending. I guess they had to do it because high society girls had to be saved from the grind of the work day world. The world that all the rest of us inhabit.
