★★★★★ · Great Fun With Kay Francis and Lilyan Tashman · srinato@yahoo.com · 2026-01-25
Wonderful romantic comedy with Kay, Lilyan at the helm. Plenty of eye candy from Joel McCrea. One of my favorite Kay Francis movies. Beautiful Art Deco sets and clothes. George Cukor directed, think this was his first film.The women help each other in this one, too. This is the best print of this movie I’ve ever seen.
