Pretty big names in this one; jean harlow and robert taylor. The story is a bit convoluted. When ray dabney is released from prison, he is assigned to live in his brother's house to make sure debts are repaid properly. The only problem is that crystal is also living in that house, and happens to be engaged to dabney's brother! So many misunderstandings. Bickering. The usual hate at first site like a fred astair/ginger rogers film. You'll recognize una o'connor, who plays clara. She was always the feisty, overworked maid or housekeeper. It's a good opportunity to see some huge stars in their prime, even if the story isn't so compelling. They would both have much meatier roles. Directed by woody van dyke. Was nominated for two great films... san francisco and thin man. Story based on the play by harold harwood. And a remake of man in possession. Another cursed cast; woody van dyke died young at 53. Harlow died quite young at 26, just three months after this was released! Taylor died at age 57.
