Leslie Howard is simply wonderful! He has an air of vulnerability, of spontaneity that breathes veracity into the most arbitrary moments mix that up with the charismatic presence of a beguiling blondell and Bogart's relentless presence and a cast with multiple gifts and you have an element of farcical romance and the little man that is unbeatable! We can learn from the artistry and commentary a film like this still projects poignantly and with sparkle!

Good to see a drunken Bogart at the Trocadero. I think it was the same year that Wallace Beery and a couple of thugs allegedly beat Ted Healy to death in their parking lot.

I know Jack Carson was supposed to be obnoxious in this but god, I wish he could've found a way to present it differently .

So interesting to see Leslie Howard and Bogart together in such a different film than "The Petrified Forest." Bogart and Bacall named their only daughter "Leslie Howard Bogart," by the way.

Jesus, Blondell was on fire she looked so great at this point.

Great art deco font in the titles.

This is a r e a l l y good one. Do you have Live, Love and Learn 1937, with Roz Russell and Robt Montgomery and Robt Benchley? You are just delighting me with all these delicious movies; thank You, so much!

I had a just-a-buck-store tape of this film some years ago. Always enjoyed it and the film-studio setting. Thanks for putting it here.
