Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Wael Katkhuda This movie without doubt is one of the best Harlow performances in her whole career (next to Libeled Lady), she is so natural and her comedy skills are superb. In my opinion at our time her performance and act are more realistic than Greta Garbo and a lot of female stars of the 30s. One of my favorite scenes were Alice and Cinderella Argument with Tracy, Fanny Fish and of course the last tow scenes. All the characters played very well such as: Frank Morgan,Ted Healy and Louise Beavers. Now the only actor who annoyed me was Lee Tracy, he really gave me a headache every-time he opened his mouth, his acting skills were good but he had a terrible voice which annoyed me a lot and i had to finish the film in two days in order to keep my ears quite and clean! i wish if Spencer Tracy was instead him for this part, because he really gave us a great performance a few years later also as a news paper man in (Libeled Lady).Finally if you are a big fan of Miss Harlow i highly recommend this light comedy for you.

richard-1787 The script of this movie is brilliant.The actors' delivery of it - especially the leads, Lee Tracy, Jean Harlow, and Pat O'Brian - is brilliant.The director's handling of the actors' delivery of the script is brilliant. (Director: Victor Fleming) In short, this movie is brilliant.When they talk about screwball comedy, this is what is meant. Clever - and very intelligent, even complex - dialog delivered at the speed of lightening with faultless diction that lets you hear every word, even when done with what were then very primitive microphones.This is one fun movie. Enjoy it.

mark.waltz There's much irony to be found in this dynamic comedy about a "fictional" movie star (Jean Harlow) dealing with her overly creative publicity agent (Lee Tracy), drunken papa (Frank Morgan) and the other hangers-on she deals with while trying to simply have a "normal" life. Harlow shows her easy going personality that made her a favorite with movie crews and endeared her to audiences. Brassier than Monroe, warmer than Lana Turner and less attention hungry of Madonna, Harlow shows why she's the first and most unique of the blonde bombshells and a true original. Feminine without being "female", Harlow's chummy and cheery disposition makes her simply one of the guys, even with her desirability.Try not to think of fellow MGM contract player Joan Crawford as single movie star Harlow tries to adopt a baby. Publicity or desire to be a mother? Of course, everything that can go wrong does go wrong when she's interviewed by the two pickle-pusses from the adoption agency. And when she meets supposedly wealthy Franchot Tone, sparks really fly, especially with his use of some classically corny come-ons. "I'd love to run barefoot through your hair" is of course the most famous, leading to one of the great plot twists in the movies.Tracy, who later got to tell John Barrymore off (in "Dinner at Eight") as his agent, gives his showiest performance as the publicity agent that has been copied in numerous spoofs of movie making, with his character the perfect archetype of those roles. Una Merkel (as Harlow's less than noble secretary), Morgan, Pat O'Brien and especially Louise Beavers shine in supporting roles.This is Harlow's greatest performance. They say the most difficult roles are for actors to play themselves. If that's true, then Harlow playing a variation of herself ranks among the best performances of the 1930's, let alone the funniest. Ironic references to MGM movies include "Susan Lennox" and Harlow's own "Red Dust". While MGM made many lavish art decco productions, this ranks among their lushest.

kidboots Lola Burns is a star. Her antics and films are lapped up by an eager, movie star mad public. The reality is very different. She doesn't have a minute to call her own. Her free loading family are bleeding her dry. Her dipsomaniac father is continually asking for large sums of money for his race track habit. She is also financing her loafer brother to pay his gambling debts in Tijuana.Lola longs for respectability. During an interview with a woman from "The Ladies Home Companion" talk turns to motherhood and Lola begins to yearn for a cosy home, a husband and babies!!!! She decides to adopt a baby but the interview with two women from the adoption agency turns into a disaster as brother rolls up with his girlfriend and a fight breaks out between brother, father and gentlemen of the press!!!Lee Tracy is superb as Hanlon, the newspaper reporter, who really loves Lola. With his machine gun delivery of witty one liners - I haven't seen him in many films but I want to see more. "I feel like a gentleman down here" says Tracy, while staying at a resort. Lola retorts - "that's the nearest you'll ever get to one."Ted Healey plays her brother (he looks old enough to be her father)!! Isabel Jewel plays his dizzy girlfriend (one of Hollywood's most under-rated actresses, in my opinion). Franchot Tone is the "gentle- man". "Your hair is like a field of daisies - I'd like to run bare- foot through your hair". Tracy retorts "he looks like an athlete - I wouldn't want him putting his foot on my head"!!!! Dorothy Deborba ("Echo" from "Our Gang") plays the little autograph girl. There is a weird continuity mistake in that scene. Franchot Tone's mother has a little pomeranian, in the next shot it isn't there, then it is, then it isn't. I noticed it the first time I saw the film. It was a careless mistake. There is also a running gag involving Bill Dooley as a man claiming to be Lola's husband, who pops up at the most inoportune times.Harlow is the whole show - her big speech to her free-loading family is great - "I'm getting pretty sick of being the goose that lays the golden egg around here" and "I'm just a glorified chump" are some of the wisecracks.In a case of art imitating real life - the movie had a lot in common with Clara Bow's private life - even Una Merkel playing a Daisy De Voe type private secretary (she even looked like her). The studio was Monarch Studios but the hidden sign was clearly MGM. The film she was working on was "Red Dust" - in one scene the director (Pat O'Brien) and Lola were standing around the famous rainwater barrel, discussing how she would play the scene with Clark Gable. At the beginning of the film there is a scene with Gable and Harlow in "Hold Your Man". Gable's name also comes up when Tracy decides to go to some foreign country - Lola says something like "you can't go there remember what happened to Clark Gable in "Susan Lennox" - talk about free publicity!!!!I would really recommend this film.
