The setup for the situation here - that the husband and wife have their personalities and voices switched - takes 43 minutes, half of this movie, and that is WAY too long and uninteresting.
The next 30+ minutes have some clever moments, primarily when John Hubbard plays his version of a flighty and superficial woman (his wife). Carol Landis, though very beautiful in this movie, is less interesting imitating the masculine aspects of her husband, mostly because a woman imitating a man - or at least this type of man - isn't as naturally outrageous to us as a man imitating a flighty woman. I kept thinking that, with better writing, this could have been spectacular with, say, Clark Gable and Carol Lombard. Hubbard didn't have much of a public image as a macho guy to play against. Gable, or even better yet Wallace Beery, did.
The last ten minutes of this movie wrap things up in an uninteresting way. It could have been a lot more fun if the two main characters had learned something about themselves and their relationship by watching how they appeared as played by their significant other instead.
30 minutes of this movie have some good laughs. The remaining hour is a waste.
