i would never hear of this film until recently it be recommend to me a a pleasant but easily overlook jean arthur filmjean arthur range be hardly test in this one she play carole a nice girl next door type with the typical arthur intelligence but without any of the more complex quality and which in certain of her film draw such memorable performance . george brent and a fred gilbert and be similarly untested in this film ( a in most of his film ) but be in the additionally unfortunate position of provide the comedy in the romance and initially through his health regime obsession and then his superficial attraction to maizie ( dorothea kent ) and ( the latter also be the mean by which an essentially simple story be sufficiently prolong to allow a feature length gap between the boy meet girl begin and the inevitable this be 1930 romantic comedy boy get girl end ) . a modern audience may not react too well to fred comment about a woman role in business or his attempt at ruthlessly ( in intent if not in effect ) resolve his ` maizie situation once the attraction have pal . however the main problem with this film be not that the woman movement have move on 70 year since the film be make 1930 comedy be after all and remember for the strong and independent heroine and fred be of course make to regret and reconsider his word and action . it be simply that you do wonder a little just what carole see in him . fortunately this film be save from the romance be completely unbelievable by carole obvious recognition ( and jean arthur ability to convey ) that she love fred regardless of his fault . what be slightly hard to accept be fred overlook carole for so long ( at least once she be out of the rather scary suit and spectacles she wear in the film open scene ) . even allow for the fact that anyone can make a fool of him or herself when it come to love and fred abrupt change of heart and especially the first volt face when he decide to employ maizie and leave me a little puzzled . a nice clue be give in the scene where fred follow carole to the secretarial school and in response to he snappish ` i be busy he sharply retort and ` i never saw you when you weren not . however this be not explore fully nor give elsewhere a an explanation for his foolishness ( at just 80 minute long and an additional 2 3 minute to deepen this rather more satisfactory explanation for fred behaviour would not exactly have overdo thing ) . in addition to the main cast there be the usual nice support from lionel stander and ruth donnelly and columbia contract actor and as likely a not to be in any jean arthur film of this time . i be not sure why but lionel stander say the word ` bellicose just crack me up . there be some nice scene between ruth donnelly and jean arthur and which be a rarity in a film genre where scene between 2 woman be usually about romantic rivalry and bitchy exchange . this element be of course present in the scene between carole and maizie and the latter be a unpleasant and manipulative a the audience need her to be in order that we do not need to worry about her ( or fred treatment of her ) when she be ultimately dispatch ( land on her foot in any event ) . if you like 1930 hollywood romantic comedy then this be a sweet and unassuming film and which and while not as memorable a many other film of hollywood golden age and be still worth a look .
