Sometimes I don't like a film, but this film annoyed me. I guess I have a tendency to like people who are responsible. And the two main characters here -- played by Robert Taylor and Myrna Loy. It all begins when the two run into each other and go on an evening fling where every bit of gambling they do brings in more money. So, egged on by Taylor's character, they get married (in part due to alcohol) and plan to live a life based on doing as little work as possible and having as many going on a lark days and nights as possible. Of course, they need a place to live, and to have that Taylor needs a job, so he becomes a very successful paint salesman. At various times it's difficult to tell which character is more irresponsible, but ultimately Loy becomes the one yearning for a home and some stability. The biggest problem of the whole film is that when it ends...suddenly...we're not sure if the couple is going to go Loy's way, or Taylor's way. At that point I felt I wasted my time watching the movie.Don't get me wrong. The acting here is really good and Taylor is strikingly handsome. The problem is the concept of the script. In fact, for the first third of the film I kept wondering if there was actually plot, or if this was going to be 82 minutes of people just acting frivolously. The plot shows up about halfway through the film. Oh, and tell me how a man with $0 always has such a nice, and nicely pressed suit.There are 3 people I'll mention in the supporting cast: the usually rather staid (but always good) Henry O'Neill as Loy's father; there is one funny scene where he is drunk! Perpetually grumpy Charles Lane as the boss at the paint store. And Marjorie Main -- acting and sounding NOTHING at all like Ma Kettle -- as the land lady.I'm still holding my nose on this one.

MYRNA LOY and ROBERT TAYLOR play a couple of flighty characters who think they can live on love alone. They only sober up after hubby gives up his $35 a week job in order to put some excitement back into his life. This notion doesn't sit well with Loy, who by then has become accustomed to the security of a paycheck and making it on her own without the help of her wealthy father.That's about it for the plot. The stars do what they can to make this dreary story work--and for awhile I thought they were going to succeed. The first fifteen minutes show possibilities that are never reached in the rest of the script. How and why Metro didn't turn this into a workable enough story for their two stars is a mystery to me.None of it makes much sense, but both stars give it their all. Taylor is relaxed and casual about everything for awhile and actually shows a bit of a flair for light comedy that was never capitalized on for most of his career. Loy is a delight, even when the muddled script makes her appear foolish and downright sappy.It's just another one of those trifles from the '30s that fans of the stars may want to look at, but as entertainment it falls far short of the mark.

Myrna Loy and Robert Taylor are cute together. This movie is about two people that meet and have one lucky night together and decide to try and make their luck last a life time. I saw this movie on cable one night and enjoyed it a lot. I would like to have it on DVD but can't even find it on VHS. Check out some of Myrna Loy's films you wont be sorry, watch The Thin Man collection, and The Best Years Of Our Lives. They are all great movies. If you have time watch Robert Taylor in Ivanhoe. Why can't Hollywood make them like they did back in the day when there were real "MOVIE STARS" in Hollywood. Where did the Class go in Hollywood. No more greats like Katherine Hepburn or Cary Grant, we are left with these mild at best actors. George Clooney which is one of the best ones we have now days is still not up to Cary Grant league.

This movie presents some good ideas about the manner of living life. The characters ably portrayed the pulls and tugs of living safely versus serendipity. It also demonstrates a good working relationship between people in a marriage who are working together as a team. How often is honesty between people present in real life?Cinematography, costumes, and sets rate at least a B if not higher, so I can not imagine the source of disapproval unless it is with the ideas presented. But of these things, even the millionaire steel company owner approved. Whether or not other reviewers saw these things, I can not tell.
