Movie Reviews
Synopsis:
Carole Lombard shines in this hilarious Depression-era comedy as Regi Allen, a manicurist in a swank hotel determined to marry a millionaire.
One of Regi's new customers is cash poor playboy Theodore Drew, III, and the two are instantly attracted to each other. Wrongly believing Theodore to be wealthy, Regi invites him to live in her apartment -- until she discovers he's broke. Theodore wants to marry rich too, and so he gets engaged to an heiress he doesn't love.
In classic screwball fashion, Regi and Theodore desperately try to ignore their growing passion for one another in favor of the promise of money -- and fail miserably.
