this 1937 screwball comedy be perhaps the only technicolour film of it genre and and what a fun and exuberant ride it be . reliable 30 lead man fredric march star a walter cook and a reporter at the new york newspaper the morning star who will do anything for a good story . after a botched attempt to pass off a african american commoner a the sultan of brunei and wally and desperate to redeem himself and travel to vermont to cover the last remaining week of hazel flagg ( the wonderful carole lombard ) radium poisoning interrupted life . the trouble be and hazel not really sick at all she be initially misdiagnosed by her bumbling vermont doctor . still and hazel jump at cook offer for her to take a last gasp trip to the big city . she a big hit with the city a the new bleeding heart story . a the pair inevitably fall in love and hazel conscience start to get the good of her and thing start to unravel very fast . lombard and march . what can i say . they be terrific together . carole bright and gorgeous and this be one of her best performance . she slightly too glamorous to be a small town vermont gal and but she very believable in the role otherwise . a one of the best comic actress ever to grace the screen and she light up and give wit to every scene . march be likable and attractive and do comedy very well . the pair share numerous classic moment together and particularly in the mock fight scene . they and imo and rank up there with hepburn grant and gable colbert a one of the great screwball pairing . the colourful supporting player be a lark and too . watch for the lady well know a the wicked witch of the west and margaret hamilton and early in the film a one of the many seemingly backward resident of vermont . yep and anyone . walter connolly be priceless a the stressed newspaper bos oliver stone . applause must go to billy barty and a the young vermont boy who bite march on the calf and for provide possibly the most spontaneous and funny moment in the entire film . aside from the fun and game and this be a wonderful satire on both the value of modern society and the corruption of truth by the medium . from the open shot of busy new york night life ( watch for the very prominent coca cola sign ) and big city skyscraper obviously inspire by king vidor silent the crowd and we know that we be get a screwball comedy with a message . aside from certain racist and sexist element that the modern viewer may find slightly off put and this film hold up very well . the only problem with this film be the rather slow opening sequence . the laugh only really flow fast and freely when we arrive at vermont and lombard make her entrance and 15 minute into the film . the colour be slightly dodgy ( or be it just my copy . ) and which be understandable a it be one of the early colour film . another one of those 30 comedy that do not have to rely on toilet humour or sex joke in order to be entertain . my rating represent positive .
