Loretta Young (Gallagher) has inexplicably been given top billing in this film. She plays a reporter who is overlooked as relationship material by fellow reporter Robert Williams (Stew). He should have top billing. Jean Harlow (Ann) plays an upper class woman who moves in 'high society' and she should get second billing. I'd then have her butler Halliwell Hobbes placed 3rd in the cast list before Loretta gets her postion. That's 4th position.
The story screams its preachy message to the audience as Williams marries wealthy Harlow but things don't work out as he is expected to adopt her society ways. There is another girl who he works with who seems a better match for him. Guess what happens?
Unfortunately, there is no mystery to this film and there are both amusing segments and irritating segments. Williams has a natural way of acting that reminds me of Spencer Tracey but he's just slightly smug with it which turns the audience away. Loretta should have played the society girl as she has the look for that kind of role and it would have been more in line with meriting top billing in the film. I find it interesting to watch Jean Harlow but the film, regrettably, only passes as an ok effort.
