Plot

After the bankruptcy of her father's business, the penniless socialite Jeannette Desmereau (Colbert) works with magazine editor Cyrus Anderson (MacMurray) and publisher Jack Bristow (Young).

Critical reception

Writing forThe Spectatorin 1936,Graham Greenestrongly praised the film as "satirical comedy of a very high order". Emphasizing the performance given byClaudette Colbert,Greene suggested that Colbert's having been given a third role in film (followingIt Happened One NightandShe Married Her Boss) made fact of the claim that "Miss Colbert is the most charming light-comedy actress on the screen".
