Pre-code fun with Barbra Stanwyck as a party loving nurse who nonetheless has a good soul – so while she romances a bootlegger (he’s a nice bootlegger selling good quality booze, but he’s still a gangster), likes a drink and party, and gets changed into her clothes on screen possibly more times than any other character in the 30s, she helps bust a bad doctor and saves two kids who are being poisoned by their mother’s treacherous lover (Clarke Gable!!).
Joan Blondell is perfect as the nurse who is Stanwyck’s wisecracking best friend (she’s always getting changed too) and Ben Lyon is the bootlegger (who arranges for Gable/s murder at the end… and isn’t punished). Some funny dialogue and a bitsy plot.
