Bill Chandler (William Powell ) is one of America's great anglers, a sports fisherman without peer, doom in waders to the wiliest trout. And that isn't the only fish story Chandler tells. Four of Hollywood's greatest stars – Powell, Jean Harlow, Myrna Loy, and Spencer Tracy – reel in this whopper of a screwball romantic comedy classic nominated for a Best Picture Oscar®. It all starts when society diva Loy slaps newsman Tracy with a libel suit. Tracy enlists fiancée Harlow and down-on-his-luck Powell in a counter maneuver involving a rigged marriage, a phony seduction, a fabulously funny fishing scene, fisticuffs, broken promises and hearts, and, eventually, true love for all. This Lady is one fine catch.

The New Republic

Otis Ferguson

Metro's best and latest entry in this field, a frothy thing like all the rest, with touches of feeling, little stagnation and considerable laughter.

The romantic complications are deliciously Byzantine...The wit, the pace, the loopy predicaments, they hold up better than many a comedy of that era

Earns its keep simply for the moment when Loy, expecting Powell to describe her eyes in gushing terms, is instead startled when he remarks that they look like "angry marbles."

Perplexing marital arrangements neatly unknot themselves into satisfactory, insinuated agreements.

Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy)

A four-ace cast in a scrambled-couple farce.
