Review of Reckless (1935) by James C — 16 Mar 2011
Harlow "sings" and "dances" in this film about a Broadway star who falls for and marries a millionaire (Franchot Tone). William Powell plays a sports promoter/gambler who is secretly in love with Harlow and tries to help her when her husband, depressed kills himself and she gets accused of murder.
Great support from Mae Robson & early Rosalind Russell & Mickey Rooney performances. Based on the real life event of actress Libby Holman (and not too far off from what happened to Harlow with husband Paul Bern.
) (Harlow's singing & dancing are done by a double.).
