Heddy LaMarr and George Sanders need I say more!! I will anyway..great costumes and check out those hats! The story is very engrossing with Heddy as a Northern Scartlet O'Hara. It is fun! Enjoy!!
★★★★★ · Outstanding, a MUST-SEE!! · kareneliot · 2010-06-27

Why are these guys in these movies such weenies? They ALWAYS fall for the rotten B I T...well, you know..Why don't they ever grow a pair and tell the tramp to take a powder? I guess they deserve them for being so utterly spineless. I guess if they had any real nerve the movies would stink then, huh? Hedy couldn't have played this one any better and to be fair I might even stick my own head into her lions jaws except I'm not rich. If you pass on this one you're a fool! If kareneliot says it's great you can bank on it!

Yeah, a little too melodramatic for me to endure but I stuck in there. Good acting job by H. L. Both sexes are free to be conniving, self-serving creeps. Good folk just need to avoid them. If people keep it real and stay on the look out for users, they'll never be used and avoid just fine drama. And practice moderation in all things, especially whiskey!
