Barrymore's best role in the talkies (before the declining years) as outrageous, ultra-theatrical manager Oscar Jaffe, and Carole Lombard as plain jane turned diva tempestuous star Lily Garland create fireworks together and Howard Hawks' usually snappy dialog abounds. Delightful, funny and fresh screwball comedy, still holds up after all this time and proves why both actors were considered among the greatest of their generation.
