i saw this on tcm a couple of night ago and and stay up late to see it a second time when it be screen again later in the evening . i have never hear of this movie before and and it turn out to be a pleasant surprise . base on a stage play and it have sophisticate and witty dialog and and be very nicely act and direct . william powell be his usual charming self and and ann harding be terrific exude intelligence and strength and and femininity in a very difficult role . i can remember see ann harding in only one other film and peter ibbetson and and she make an equally strong impression on me in that film as well . powell and harding work well together and with a seduction scene create a great sense of intimacy . he a playboy and and she lay a trap to snare him and which eventually lead to a lot of emotional pain and heartache . despite all their trouble and there be a certain civility and grace in the way that they deal with each other and i think it be this quality and more than any other and that make the film so appeal . for people who like film of the pre code era and double harness be highly recommended .
