Carol Lombard character was just a complete childlike, spoiled imbecile. I hope this was not intended as a romantic movie. I actually expected Godfrey (William Powell was good!) to end up w/ the gutsy sister Cornelia. They had much more chemistry and it would have been much more interesting. It would also have added to the social critique that was unevenly spread through the film. The ending was lame - both the interaction with the family, Cornelia's uncharacteristic & sudden reversal/reaction AND the horrifying final conclusion between Godfrey & Carol Lombard's character..... Where did that come from? Would it really happen? Is she totally insane? Did I blink & miss the instance in which he actually indicated the slightest interest? He seemed more interested in the maid, I thought.
Stick to the Thin Man movies that William Powell did. Much better & with more realistic women.
