Review of The Mad Miss Manton (1938) by Orlok W — 06 Feb 2015
This movie, a warm-up for Stanwyck and Fonda for the later 'The Lady Eve', is entirely enjoyable. A lighthearted piece of fluff, true, but everybody is having such a good time that it becomes totally infectious.
.. An excellent look at things to come--This is one pip of a movie. An obscure comedy that truly utilizes all the cast members involved in a great screwball of a movie. Barbara Stanwyck in another "I saw the body until it disappeared" kind of farce, giving the audience a good time as she tangles with unbelieving police inspector (Sam Levene) and a newspaper reporter looking for a good story (Henry Fonda).
.. Bouncing Debs!!
