Powell and Loy are more lunatic than usual in this comedy that is closer to My Man Godfrey than it is to any Thin Man. Powell is an avant-garde artist in residence (a trailer parked in a city lot) who sets his sights on serious minded dress-shop owner Loy and distracts her from her mission in life--to marry off her star-struck baby sister to a sensible type. Scriptwriter Jo Swerling has fashioned Ferenc Molnar's play into very American screwball, with snappy dialogue and the central irony that sustained many a '30s film plot, namely, that only the rich can afford to be poor.
