Wild and Sleek - Danger: Love at Work review by CH
Screwball comedy was a Thirties delight, and this film, which is perhaps lesser known, has much to relish, as the script and camera move swiftly between the members of a family which almost makes the Addams one look starkly realistic. Its mainspring is one of wonderfully warped logic, not least in a surprising bathroom scene. Here is the higher frivolity - and, as such, highly recommended.
