Brisk social commentary comedy from Capra doesn't have the bite of his later 30's work but is interesting as evidence of it's development. Robert Williams is strong in the lead, it is easy too see him possibly going on to a career similar to Spencer Tracy had he not died just days after the premiere of this film. Loretta Young is beautiful and lively not yet having settled into the great lady mode she adopted a few years later. Jean, early in her career before MGM took her in hand and molded her into a first class comedienne and broad, is cast as the the rich girl and while she isn't terrible she's more at ease in the moments when not trying to play the grand society lady. She does looks sensational in her almost blinding blondeness.
