An eccentric woman learns she is not dying of radium poisoning as earlier assumed, but when she meets a reporter looking for a story, she feigns sickness again for her own profit.
Lively and mildly amusing satire is quite dated, but watchable for its wit, fast pace and good cast.
Halliwell***: "Hollywood's most bitter and hilarious satire, with crazy comedy elements and superb wisecracks; a historical monument of screen comedy, though its freshness at the time can't now be recaptured."
Maltin***1/2: "Classic comedy...Ben Hecht's cynical script vividly enacted by March and Lombard (at her best)."
