An American Comedy directed by William A. Wellman, starring Carole Lombard and Fredric March.
A newspaper man finds out that a young woman has radium poisoning and goes to Vermont to interview her. It turns out that she is perfectly healthy, unbeknownst to the newspaper man, but he takes her and her doctor to New York anyway. There, she is the talk of the town and a celebrity because of her fake illness.
I was surprised to see a colorized film from 1937. Apparently, Technicolor was invented in 1916, but obviously not widely used. The plot and characters were simple and direct. The style was very clear and the production value was good for the time. I daresay I liked it! Rating this good.
