One of Joan Crawford's better comedies. Comedy was not her strong suit and she didn't do many of them. This is a good one. Originally written for Carole Lombard before her death. Joan had big shoes to fill as Lombard was one of the screen's best comediennes. The story is about a no-nonsense owner of a trucking company (Crawford) who falls for a cocky reporter (Melvyn Douglas) out to bring her down. Douglas is good but I can't help but feel it's a part written for William Powell or Clark Gable in the '30s. Nice support from Roland Young, Allen Jenkins, and Billie Burke. Like I said, one of Joan's better comedies. She's very good. Terrible hair though.
