Perhaps this is a little over rated.There's not a lot of farce. It's mostly a sexy romance with conwoman Babara Stanwyck trying to get millionaire Henry Fonda and falling for him, then getting revenge when he discovers the truth.
I expected more to be done with Charles Coburn - he should have turned against Stanwyck or something.
But as a star vehicle this is first rate. The two leads seem to be having the time of their lives and there is genuine erotic charge. Maybe because Stanwyck has clearly been around and is active in her pursuit.
With the wrong stars though this would sink.
