Famous screwball comedy with some excellent lead performances. It's clearly well made. A top lot of character actors - Alice Brady and Eugene Pallette as the parents, Gail Patrick and Carole Lombard as the daughters, Mischa Auer as a gigolo (he made me laugh).
William Powell is a secretly rich man as a hobo. I liked how Lombard basically bombarded him into romance though she can be a bit screachy at times.
It's clearly made with care - Universal movies weren't always so. Powell and Lombard have style to spare. I didn't think this was amazing as its reputation but it was entertaining.
