Lustige Sünder (1936)

Lustige Sünder: Directed by Jack Conway. With Jean Harlow, William Powell, Myrna Loy, Spencer Tracy. When a socialite sues a big paper for libel, the editor responsible calls in the help of his ignored fiancée and a former employee to frame her and make the false story seem true.

“One might wonder about casting 4 heavyweights in the same film– any one of the leads could carry a film by themselves– but all together youu0026#39;re afraid that they might either weigh down the film or, ala the u0026quot;Dream Teamu0026quot; 1990, fail to live up to expectations. But this is one time you time you will not be disappointed– with hysterical antics by Jean Harlowe, the always dependable repartee between classy Myrna Lowe and suave William Powell, and Spencer Tracy proving for the first time that he can handle snappy dialogue like the best of u0026#39;em– the chemistry between the cast makes every scene in this film a delight.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe banter flies so fast youu0026#39;ll miss it– this is the height of screwball comedy. When people say they donu0026#39;t write them like this anymore, alas, they really donu0026#39;t.”
