Plot
A film star tries to escape her studio and her family.
Sinekatalog’s take
Victor Fleming's pre-Code comedy has Jean Harlow as a film star hounded by her studio, hangers-on and family. Fast, funny and sparkling, with Harlow's comic timing, it is a delightful satire of Hollywood celebrity.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
