Designing A Good Scandal- Design for Scandal ***1/2

Warning: Spoilers
Very funny 1941 film with Rosalind Russell and Walter Pidgeon starring.

Russell plays a tough judge who lowers the boom on Edward Arnold when the latter's chorus girl wife divorces him. To get the judge off the case for future appeals, Arnold devises a plot with his photographer Walter Pidgeon to come on to her and then have her name smeared through the media by his alleged fiancée who he has hired for this nasty deed.

Russell comes into herself as a woman here and Pidgeon is quite a lady's man. It's a riot how Russell eventually discovers this plot and when Arnold and Pidgeon are brought into court for plotting such chicanery, Russell gets to see the other side of the law.

A very appealing comedy.
