"It made audiences happy in a way that only a few films in each era do. In the mid-thirties, the Colbert and Gable of this film became Americans' idealized view of themselves -- breezy, likeable, sexy, gallant, and maybe just a little harebrained." -- Pauline Kael.

"Better than it has any right to be -- better acted, better directed, better written...Clark Gable [manages] to be a rowdy and a perfect gentleman and a newspaperman and a young lover, all in the same breath and in the most breezy and convincing manner imaginable." -- Otis Ferguson (1934).
