Synopsis: Actress Marie Dressler, who spent some of her formative years in Saginaw, is among the all-star cast in a George Cukor comedy rated by the American Film Institute as among the top 100 movie comedies of all time. Set in the Great Depression, it deals with the loss of money and prestige amid assorted kinds of relationships. Also starring are John Barrymore, Jean Harlow, Billie Burke, Wallace Beery and Lionel Barrymore.

“The exchange between Dressler and Harlow is worth the price of admission.”
