This movie took me by surprise - as I caught it quite by accident and was on the verge of turning it off and it just grabbed me and I could not take my eyes from it until the last shot. Claudette is at her best and the script is witty and way ahead of its time. As Eve, Claudette learns how difficult it is to deceive and keep the web of make believe going. Her comic timing is impeccable. Loved Rex O'Malley in a small but "out" part. Mary Astor, as usual, has that sweet venomous second fiddle role down pat. Barrymore, apparently reading his lines, does very well. He is the only one in heavy makeup. A must see by an unrecognised director who in later life became a tailor, I believe (more info on this if anyone has it, please).
