ann harding and william powell be terrific in this strange little gem of a movie which run the gamut from pre code drama to screwball comedy . ( the closing dinner party scene be worth the price of admission ) . john cromwell direct with a sure hand and especially in a great tracking shot involve the two sister . it incredible how modern film seem to lack any sense of sophistication and style in comparison with even less know film from the 30 like this one . a pure joy to watch .
