In a plot right out of any good GOLDDIGGERS flick, Young, along with sisters Weaver and Moore, heads off from the flatlands of Kansas to the fertile valleys of California in search of rich husband material. Young pretends to be an important socialite, with her two sisters posing as her staff. She meets McCrea, an apparently wealthy young man, and it's true love for Young. It turns out McCrea is just as poor as she, but Cupid doesn't know beans when it comes to dollar signs, and love triumphs. Moore gets the ever-delightful Niven, and Weaver scores a jackpot by marrying the apparently poor, but actually quite wealthy, bartender Erwin. This is a delightful comedy, well scripted and directed with a sense of fun. The players are clearly enjoying themselves, making the most of the good material. The easily adaptable plot later turned up in two remakes: MOON OVER MIAMI (1941) and THREE LITTLE GIRLS IN BLUE (1946). leave a comment
