This review caught my eye because I have a copy of it on VHS. Its a good one, IMHO. The reviewer noted that Hepburn gets awfully intense at times. It would be a little off-putting for me to have a lady-friend like that, but I'm no Cary Grant. He can handle it, I'm sure.

Though the movie is taken from a 10-year-old Broadway play, it is fairly typical for the type of movie they were watching in 1938. The rise of totalitarianism with its wars and rumors of war seems not to have entered the popular public discussion yet. When a movie has a serious theme or a serious aspect to its setting (see "My Man Godfrey"-1936) it is likely to be the depression.

Hollywood has certainly turned out some tripe.

This one wasn't too bad.
