This is Jean Harlow's final film. She died at the age of 26 while filming this one and it had to be completed with a double for her voice and body. I am a big Jean Harlow fan and had never seen this - I received the VHS tape for Christmas.

anyone who enjoys seeing Clark Gable and Jean Harlow together. They made about six or seven films.

and was interested in seeing this great cast, many of which turned up again in THe Wizard of Oz and Gone with The Wind. From Hattie McDaniel to Frank Morgan it is a stellar group of MGM stars.

seeing Jean Harlow look so puffy and ill. In hindsight it looks obvious that she was deathly ill.

watch another Jean Harlow movie for comparison.

like I had seen a movie that isn't that great in story, but the actors were standouts. I was interested in how they covered for Ms. Harlow not being there.

does a really good job. I thought the scenes at the race track outdoors were very creatively done with the binoculars to cover up Ms. Harlow's death.

I am a big fan of Jean Harlow's work. I think she is one of the most talented comediennes to ever make a movie. For being 26 years old at her death, she made a lot of good films in a short period of time.
