A theatre producer pursues the actress he made into a star.

Sinekatalog’s take

Howard Hawks's screwball comedy pits John Barrymore's egomaniac producer against Carole Lombard's star on a train. Fast, ferocious and hilarious, it set the template for the genre with outrageous performances.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
