Jean Harlow as the ultimate Platinum Blonde
4 March 2021
A comedy build around a dinner party. Something like "La regle du jeu" (1939, Jean Renoir) or "Gosford Park" (2001, Robert Altman).

The great depression is looming large over the movie, in spite of the fact that it is a comedy. Everybody has seen better times and everybody would like to use the dinner party to investigate new business opportunities.

Jean Harlow is the most memorable figure of the movie to me. She really is the predecessor of Marilyn Monroe!
