My Daughter watched it a couple of years ago and told me it was great.
I ordered it on Netflix and still don’t understand why she thought it was so good. Not that it was bad.
Ping. And apologies for being a day late. Celebrating another year with friends and family to the wee hours last night.
BTW, I apparently share a birthday with WC Fields. Given my general demeanor, I don’t think that’s a coincidence. :-)
Great movie. Great caste.
One of my favorites.
Great movie. William Powell is a great comedic actor, I have a boxed set of “The Thin Man” DVDs.
I think Powell and Lombard had been divorced for only a short time when they made this. Very good movie.
“The Dump”
Love it can you add me to your “ping”list please......thank you
The last time I watched it (a long time ago) I remember picking up some little socialist ideas in the movie. This is all supposedly redeemed by the ending, which I won’t give away. But by then, it’s too late, the ideas have been presented, the damage done. Morrie Ryskind, who wrote the screenplay, later became a conservative, but during the ‘30s he was a socialist. Just be on the lookout for hidden messages. This is the type of movie screenwriting that the conservatives of the time were complaining about, although I have no idea if they mentioned this exact film.

Lots from that same generation....Grand Hotel...Dinner at Eight...Shop Around the Corner (my Christmas favorite this year)...The Admirable Crichton (from the same man who wrote Peter Pan)....
I love this movie. I’m a big William Powell fan.
Happy Birthday and thank you!
I looooooove this movie. Powell was sexy as h***, and Lombard was just delightful. Great movie. Watch it if you’ve never seen it!
