Bright comedy, very well done, with a lot of emphasis on female desire and desirability. Claudette Colbert's good looks get her given money by one tycoon and proposed to by another tycoon and gets frree train tickets from eccentric rich men but she can't resist struggling inventor Joel McCrea even though his idea is a little silly.
Mary Astor is also full of lust. Rudy Vallee's brother, the millionaire, is pure.
The cast are extremely likeable - Vallee must be the most engaging richest man in the world in the movies. The Ale and Quayle Club bring enjoyable anarchy.
Maybe four stars is generous. It's just very well done all the way through. Funny final gag.
