Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

ksf-2 EARLY Joan Blondell.. LOVE HER in Desk Set, but that was about twenty years after this. She and Glenda Farrell were silly working girls in all those black and whites in the 1930s and 1940s... Ginger and Dixie are process servers, and are trying to get out of such a dangerous business. Their boss has one last assignment for them, and after being offered a huge amount, this will be their last caper, serving the big mob boss who doesn't want to be served. Ginger has a beau Carter, played by Ross Alexander. Sadly, Alexander offed himself a couple years after this film was released. The Hays film code had just started being strictly enforced, and this clearly was not good news for Alexander, as his lifestyle could not be kept quiet, and this clashed with the studio big-shots. Silly, vaudeville man Hugh Herbert is the goofy attorney, and is clearly here for the laughs. Some fun cameos, or almost cameos... a young Lionel Stander (Max.. from Hart to Hart) has several spoken lines. Walter Brennan is a guest at the wedding, and according to IMDb, Mayo Methot's scene was deleted. Also several songs by actor/singer Phil Regan... he had quite the adventures after his acting days, if you look him up on wikipedia. This one is fun, and scurries right along. Story is pretty straight forward, and has some clever lines. I recommend this one. Pretty surprised at the low rating... only a 6.. but of course, only 140 votes so far. Hopefully TCM will show this one more often.

MartinHafer Joan Blondell and Glenda Farrell play process servers who are very, very creative when it comes to giving subpoenas to people in breech of promise suits. One tramp, Ms. LeClaire, has about a dozen to have served just for her! And, for $1000, the two agree to serve these summonses for their shyster boss (Hugh Herbert). Seeing them scheme to meet men and give them these legal documents was pretty funny--such as how they served the pro wrestler and the crooner (Phil Regan). However, a problem develops when it turns out all these people are being served for one case--the very rich Mr. Courtney (Ross Alexander)...and he turns out to be Blondell's boyfriend! The idea is very clever and enjoyable...to a point. Unfortunately, the movie has as much to dislike about it. The worst was Hugh Herbert. While he was a popular supporting character actor in the 1930s, he was a strictly one-not actor and his shtick was VERY heavy-handed and annoying. And, combining this AND horrible rear-projected chase scenes, the film is darn hard to watch at times. Watchable but not nearly as good as it could have been.

trpdean I'd never heard of this before I saw it on television the other day. It's captivating, fast-paced, very funny, very imaginative, with terrific dialogue and wonderfully funny situations.Joan Blondell in particular is adorable - playing a vulnerable, smart, fast-moving and thinking, deeply romantic and quick-witted girl. Glenda Farrell is excellent too - as the less romantic of the pair.Hugh Herbert is terribly funny - one really has to listen to his underplaying of a completely distinctive personality - the closest the movies come is probably Edward Everett Horton's character in films, but their manners and style are quite different.I love movies like this - they're VERY fast-moving, and the imagination, the sheer delight evident in the making (and thus in the viewing) - is the opposite of the so often hackneyed (or gross) comedies coming out of Hollywood these days.Perhaps one of the things that most appeals is that the two leads (Blondell and Farrell) are themselves so likable, that you strongly sympathize with them in every wonderfully bizarre situation. (So often I find myself just not LIKING the protagonist in modern romantic comedies - which is fatal to their enjoyment).Joan Blondell's films of the 1930s (whether comedies or the six she did with Jimmy Cagney with whom she was starring on Broadway when both were discovered by Hollywood) are a great and rather undiscovered treasure for modern audiences. You just can't go wrong with Blondell in this or such films as The Traveling Saleslady, in the Gold Diggers films or anything else I've happened to see from the 1930s.Do watch it - even though it requires close attention because the dialogue flies as fast as His Girl Friday. You'll be glad you did.

darryn.mcatee a minor warner studio output using up its contract players. blondell and farrell spark off each other like an early version of thelma and louise as they serve witness summons on a range of male lugs: a crooner, a wrestler and a wiseguy. an interesting film for the potential it offered for female leads, a potential that hollywood has always underexploited.
