Perhaps they took this movie and improved on it and came up with the classic My Man Godfrey, which was released a year later. Both tell a story of a rich man who pretends to be a butler so as to get close to a woman he's infatuated with.
It's the sort of story I love, I have to admit, so I was quite disappointed that this movie wasn't as well-written as Godfrey, and that Herbert Marshall is not nearly as charming as William Powell. It's a bit silly that Jean Arthur's employer (she's a cook), who runs a bootlegging gang, would arrive at Marshall's wedding guns-ablazing to bring him back to her when in the first place he wanted her as his mistress.
It's only because I love Jean Arthur that I'm giving this movie a marginal thumbs-up.
