Life among the rich on the planet Kerflooey
This has a good cast (MacKaill and an impossibly young Joel McCrea) and the opening scene promises a bright comedy about the silly rich-- like McCrea's later The Palm Beach Story. But five minutes into it, when humble steel worker McCrea is revealed to be "the halfback who beat Yale" and heiress MacKaill announces she's going to marry him-- within four weeks exactly-- it quickly becomes clear that any resemblance between this movie and life on Earth is purely coincidental. Depression audiences may have enjoyed imagining this was how the spoiled rich behaved, but it's just too contrived and heavy-handed in its message. Check out a much more skillfully and amusingly over the top fantasy like Michael Curtiz's Female instead.
