Directed by Allan Dwan • 1936 • United States
Starring Brian Donlevy, Glenda Farrell, Norman Foster
A romantic comedy with an edge, this dizzyingly paced blend of screwball laughs and action thrills casts Brian Donlevy and ’30s spitfire Glenda Farrell as, respectively, a rugged deep-sea engineer and the feisty magazine writer who loves him (and uses his exploits as inspiration for her stories). They’re both gun-shy when it comes to marriage—until a close call with death reminds them of how delicate life is.
