In its comic opposition of two strata of American society--the aristocracy, with their sham superiority, and the democratic sector, represented here by two bright newspaper reporters--this early Frank Capra film contains the seeds of what would become the director's favorite theme. Jean Harlow in one of her best early roles is the spoiled socialite who seduces newsman Robert Williams into her gilded cage and away from fellow journalist Loretta Young. When the glow wears off, "cinderella man" rebels by engineering an assault on his own privilege that would make Mr. Deeds proud. Sophisticated performances by 18-year-old Young and 20-year-old Harlow are a delight.
