The hotshot newspaper reporter Wallace Cook (Fredric March) tries to get in the good graces of his boss, Oliver Stone (Walter Connolly) by exploiting the "imminent" death of an ailing young woman, Hazel Flagg (Carole Lombard).

By way of newsprint the doomed young lady becomes the toast of New York City until her health situation is revealed as a hoax.

IMHO one of the best comedies that went into Public Domain.

The funny story telling by William A.

Wellman and the great cast makes this one an highly enjoyable A Class Movie.

Date : 1937
Cast : Carole Lombard as Hazel Flagg.

This was Lombard's only Technicolor film.

She stated that this film was one of her personal favorites.
