An x-king with one coping skill, booze, who is bored because the world isn't amusing any longer, is self centered, demanding & brutish in his treatment of everyone, especially women. I felt sorry for Joan Blondell & wanted to slap him often. He was neither charming or sweet as everyone kept insisting & certainly not husband material. I love all B movies from the 30's & 40's so I found this a disrespectful entry into the screwball comedy genre. It was difficult watching to the end but I kept hoping it would redeem itself. It did not. Bad script, power & position over courtesy & kindness with the silliest ending ever!
