it go without say that the best myrna loy movie have william powell but this movie have enough cast that it can virtually throw away jimmy stewart and still carry you along with the strength of the character performance . clark big ear gable be not my favorite star and but he play the role of the loving but thoughtless husband perfectly . he believably pull off be shrewd in business and but naive enough of his personal life to be almost innocent while look completely guilty . actually and it be the pair of lead lady that make this movie so great myrna loy and jean harlow . myrna be great in everything she do and so be harlow . harlow be proof that the original be nearly always the best . anyone who have ever enjoy a marilyn monroe movie be simply watch second best harlow be the original blonde bombshell and be still the best . her usual forte be comedy and but she nail this light dramatic role perfectly . there be time when you do not know who to cheer for the wife or the secretary and that the movie . the whole tension ride on which of these two lady gable chooses or and rather and which one the audience want him to choose . myrna may have be the only actress who could have give harlow a run for her money and harlow may have be the only one who could challenge myrna loy . myrna loy and jean harlow team up in another movie libel lady another tour de force of cast with william powell and spencer tracy along for the ride . lady be a very good movie while a comedy with both draw room and slapstick element . this type of comedy be usually more my cup of tea and but as good a lady be and wife vs. secretary be well mainly because lady doesn not let harlow bust loose until the end of the movie . the light touch that these two great actress bring to wife vs. secretary offset one of the fundamental conflict and tragedy of life that though we be often present with two path in life and we can only choose one knowing that we will always wonder about the other .
