      Betty: Suppose that man hadn't stopped us and we'd gone there and gotten smallpox...

      Bob McNear: Ahh, that would've been fine. Then you could've gone home and given it to your husband. I'd give it to him myself if I wasn't vaccinated.

    I happened across this film as it aired on TCM, and I found myself unable to stop watching. I've never been a great fan of Kay Francis, but this is delightfully entertaining. It fits in with those zany, intricate plots of 1930s comedies with mistaken identities, multiple couples, and all a "to-do" with the wealthy upper classes...fitting right in with the usual Depression Era escapist fare - which I admit I usually enjoy!

    Others' reviews give one enough of an idea of the plot and the context behind the making of the film. All I want to add is that for those that may want to acquire this film, TCM is now providing it from their TCM Vaults (Warners Archive). Visit WWW.TCM.COM for more...
