This is a really good movie, but I really enjoyed the 1957 version a little bit more, as it seemed a little funnier somehow. Not trying to take anything away from this version, as we all have our likes and dislikes, but both versions (my opinion only) are memorable and worth watching. Thanks for posting.

[SuperGamer87]

I LOVE this movie! Thanks for posting it!

[ggggroucho]

this is one of my go to movies along with the marx brothers movies, and born yesterday...simply wonderful.

[Howlett123]

and of course the beautiful Lombard was married in real life to the elegant Mr Powell ... for a brief time anyway ... then on to Clark Gable ...

[windstorm1000]

One of Hollywood's greatest movies---funny, ditzy, socially relavant, 30's luxerious but also gritty, incandescent/fizzy Carole Lombard, suave/knowing/witty William Powell, glamorous/snake like Gail Patrick, complete ditz Alice Brady, weird funny Mischa Auer, gravely/earthy Eugene Palette, great writing, great direction, sets, costumes...great entertainment. A local movie house here in Santa Fe just showed it--not bad for a 70 year old movie. Its still entertaining--its a classic.

[EABlais]

this movie is a classic!!! Thank you for posting!!!!

[drunkjimmystewart]

Wonderful! when she says it's kind of sordid playing a game with human beings as objects, I just wanted to hug her - and Powell could see exactly how nice she was under her ditziness.

[ConfusedSponge]

Can someone tell me the title of the music piece at 0:27 ? Also by whom? I came to know about it through Tom and and Jerry. Also another piece at 1:17 ! Will ya do that?

[soulierinvestments]

One of the hardest=to=read set of opening credits I have ever encountered. What WERE they thinking?

[IngridBergmanRocked]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!:D

[gqjohnny]

Simply said, one of the greatest movies of all time. William Powell and Carole Lombard are terrific.

[islandsylph]

I love this film. I have it on an old VHS they released it on.

[piemonte222]

What a beautiful woman Carole Lombard was!!

[GOINGINSAINSBURYS]

William Powell cornered the market when it comes to charm, charisma and wit; a fabulous actor! And Carole Lombard was, undoubtably, Queen of the screwball comedy!

[ConfusedSponge]

@GOINGINSAINSBURYS Jean Arthur was the Queen of Screwball Comedy, undoubtedly.

[coolkid1234533]

@ConfusedSponge Agreed.

[ConfusedSponge]

@coolkid1234533 Yay ;-)

[sergejisd]

William Powell: one of the greatest actors and a real gentleman!

[starbirdblue]

thanks for uploading love these old movies..and its great to have this on you tube,,sitting with a rain storm and tv off ,but ever since i started watching you tube,,dont watch tv,,its more fun with all these black and white movis,,thank you..

[9876543217303]

Funny but as old as this classic is, you can very well see the chemistry between Carol and William. They are so cute together and he likes her so much but the way he tries to hide it is so endearing to me. I like Cornelia too! The father is the best. I used to watch this around the holidays growing up. It seems that around the Thanksgiving holidays they would play this on television. Thanks for the lovely post.

[hjb103055]

@9876543217303 Did you know that they had married in 1931 and were married for 2 years and when they made this movie they had been divorced for 3 years? They remained great friends until she died. When she In 1942 she was married to Clark Gable. In 1935 William Powell began a relationship with Jean Harlow until she died in 1935.

[9876543217303]

@hjb103055 For as much as I consider myself a movie buff, I did not know that she and William Powell had been married. That's the chemistry lol. But really, I always knew about Mr. Gable and since she died before I was even born, it saddens me that such a bright, beautiful and talented lady went like that. Thanks for the comment and information :D

[hjb103055]

@9876543217303 Go check out Blinkx.com for movies. It's also got old and new tv shows.

[ConfusedSponge]

@hjb103055 Harlow died in '37.

[kdepinalex]

A truely wonderful film. William Powell is excellent and Carole Lombard was at her ditzy best. Some of the greatest scenes (and lines) in the history of Hollywood.

[vivaloriflamme]

A Depression movie for our newest Great Depression.

Thanks for posting it!

[lorrainewands]

one of my favorite movies of all time

[Coupal1]

"All you need to start an asylum is an empty room and the right kind of people!" Love that line!

[Coupal1]

All that garbage! Did they really dump garbage right next to the city? Great movie, though!!

[44mkb]

@Coupal1 From what I have read of history in large cities, garbage seemed to be placed in any available space. Read about Hell's Kitchen and Five Points during the 1850 and forward in New York. Our country has never been as "green" as it is now.

Home is where the heart is

City Dump 32 East River Sudden Place

[NeoOneOrg]

All about economic depressions, social behaviour etc. Illusions of image games, and the forgotten man, the ones created through capitalisms addictive quality in economy

[slemely]

one of my favorite movies

[4321Blastoff]

I just watched this flick.

[meedina]

one of the best!!!

[bchfront]

'All you need to start an asylum is an empty room and the right-kind of people!" Aside from doing both the novel this is based-on, and the script, Eric Hatch also did the screenplay of "Topper", the following-year. When it came to directing comedy, Greg LaCava was really it seems on the cutting-edge. Supposedly, he turned the day to day set into a party -- buffet-table plenty of booze, singing, the works, and then would improv the scenes w/his actors -- whatever LaCava's M.O., he got results! RJ

[Coupal1]

@bchfront - Thanks for the info on the director. I love 'behind the scenes' information.

[princessjoots]

i love the way irene talks

[Fruth37]

I read somewhere that Mike saying "What's up Duke?" turned into "What's up Doc?" in the Bugs Bunny cartoons.

[RubyWraith]

[LucasSpade]

Great classic comedy, one of my favorites.

[flippinoutatthetvnow]

I have the DVD for this. Its good to see that people still enjoy classics.

[stickitupyourasteric]

@flippinoutatthetvnow i ordered it at blockbusters in 97, they gave me david nivens remake, i told them 36 or nothing. hollywood died after the 40s, never to be reborn.

[waypor1]

@stickitupyourasteric It was the best of art in metaphysical films like this one

[EmoBoiii93]

@flippinoutatthetvnow It's just become a New hobby of mine to watch classics almost every night! It's great to see people still Post classics :). The people in this movie will never die so long as you press play.

[fromthesidelines]

You might want to read Eric Hatch's original novel, 'shoyhakuryu', and compare how different it is to the movie...

[shoyhakuryu]

Yess! perfect! Thank you!

(I'm doing an English essay on this, and watching this again through your upload will help me a lot!)
