Barbara Stanwyck plays the rich socialite Miss Manton who discovers a murdered man one night in a deserted building, and Henry Fonda is the newspaperman who doesn't believe her at first but then falls in love with her; together they capture the killer. Not as great as other screwball comedies from this period, and rather silly in spots, yet the script does offer up a number of funny lines. The plot isn't unique by any means (Hitchcock plowed a deep furrow in the unbelieving-couple-who-succumb-to ... Read More

This is a wonderful screwball comedy that stars Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda. They showed that they had a nack for comedy as well as drama which really up to this time, that's all they had done. The film starts out with Melson Manson coming home to her 5th Ave highrise after a costume charity ball to walk her dogs at 3am. While she's tending to one little dog, she see's her high society friend Ronny leaving the Lane Mansion. She goes into the mansion that's been closed up for awhile only ... Read More

I, too, disagree with scotsladdie - this movie is an absolute gem, and I've been hoping for several years to see this one come out on DVD! This is one of my favorite B&W comedies, with an enchantingly headstrong heroine and her equally (and charmingly) stubborn suitor. And, oh, yes - it's a mystery, too. I must say, I greatly prefer it to movies such as Bringing Up Baby (much as I like Cary Grant and K. Hepburn), in which the so-called hero is too muddled to attempt to hold his ground against ...

I beg to differ with Scotsladdy. This is silliness carried to a delicious extreme. Stanwyck as a sleuthing debutante gets to be fearless, witty and gorgeous at the same time as she carries on a Taming of the Shrew-type class-war romance with youthful class warrior Fonda. There are no profound depths here, but many laughs(including quite a few by Hattie McDaniels), and the feminist slant of the plot--maligned Junior Leaguers aim to show up scoffing police--is great fun.

Definitely a mixed bag. This is a good example of something which was ground out by film studio people in a desperate mood. Miscast, Barbara Stanwyck plays a dizzy debutante who's one of a covey of Junior League girls in fox capes; she walks her dog at three in the morning after a costume ball, and encounters a corpse in a deserted house. Inspired by the spectacle, she immediately corrals her flighty friends - in their best party dresses - and they scurry around the scene of the crime, looking for ... Read More
