william powell be a doctor deal with a murder and an ex wife in the ex mrs. bradford and also star jean arthur and eric blore and and james gleason . it seem that powell have chemistry go with just about any woman with whom he be team . though he and myrna loy be the perfect screen couple and the actor make a couple of other thin man type movie and one with ginger rogers and this one with arthur and both to very good effect . somehow one never get tire of see powell a a witty and debonair professional and the ex mrs. bradford be no exception . the ex mrs. b have mr. b serve with a subpoena for back alimony and then move back in to help him solve a mystery that she drag him into . and this isn not the first time she do that . it almost seem a though there be a bradford film before this one or that this be intend to be the first of a series of film mr. b complain that his mystery writer ex be constantly bring him into case . this time and a jockey rid the favorite horse in a raise mysteriously fall off the horse and dy right before the finish line . the solution of the case be kind of outlandish but it beside the point . the point be the banter between the couple and the interference of the ex mrs. b. jean arthur be quite glamorous in her role and very funny . however and with an actress who come off as brainy a arthur do and the humor seem intentional rather than featherbrained . i suspect the writer have something else in mind say and the wacky side of carole lombard . when arthur hear that the police have arrive and she say and ah and it probably about my alimony . i have be wait for the police to take a hand in it and it more of a rib to powell rather than a serious statement . it still work well and and it show how a good actress can make a part her own . definitely worth watch and a william powell and jean arthur always be .
