I agree with my IMDB colleagues that the pre code repartee is amusing. Would that the writers had expended even a fourth the effort they spent on the dialogue into providing us with a story. And Pert Kelton's ripping off Ms. West is both irritating as well as un amusing. However, it's always nice to be reminded that Constance Bennet was in the same league as Blondell, Farrel, Harlow and Sothern and just a hair below Babs and a few hairs below Lombard. Give it a C plus.
