I don't completely understand poker terminology but "Queen High" refers to the card game. In the plot, a poker hand determines which business partner gets to run their ladies garter company for a whole year. The loser has to be subservient for the full year and this crosses over into personal life in the form of becoming the other man's butler. The stakes are high. And it's a pair of sixes that wins the contest. Charles Ruggles (Johns) and Frank Morgan (Nettleton) are the two business partners who can't stand each other and enter into the deal as suggested by their lawyer Rudolph Cameron (Vanderholt). Can they resolve their differences?
There is a mini love story played out by Ginger Rogers (Polly) and Stanley Smith (Dick) as the relations of both the feuding bosses but it really takes second stage to the bickering of the 2 male leads. And they are very funny and constantly at each other's throats. The dialogue is amusing and we get a couple of songs as well as an entertaining song and dance section started off by Ginger Rogers and ending with Eleanor Powell briefly tap dancing on a table. You won't realize it is her so watch out. It's fascinating if you are interested in this kind of stuff.
An amusing film that is acted very well by the two main leads and definitely worth another watch. Unfortunately, the sound isn't always as crisp as would be preferred and although it is a fairly short film, I found that it seemed longer. This is usually a bad sign that a film is boring but that's not what I felt whilst watching this effort. Highly enjoyable.
