Screwball On Its Last Legs
10 September 2021
Carole Landis lets comedian-spectacled George Brent fend for himself for one evening. He goes to a restaurant, meets Ann Dvorak, takes her home, and gets into all sorts of trouble with Miss Landis, neighbor Turhan Bey, and Bey's dog, Flame. Virginia Mayo is also present.

The dog is well served in this late screwball comedy. In the late 1930s, Warner Brothers turned out a bunch of programmers and B comedies more noted for their frantic speed and innuendo than for doing anything particularly funny. With this one, former Warners B producer Bryan Foy essays more of the same, with similar, tired results.
