Not a great role for Jean Harlow and Loretta Young didn't have much to work with either. Robert Williams was mostly entertaining. I enjoyed the script as well, but the film as a whole is nothing special. You can see how parts of this inspired a few gags in Mr. Deeds Goes to Town.

Man that guy sucked

I feel like Capra's eye for visuals really got more sophisticated here, there's some really pretty cinematography and I get why this one got the 4K treatment on the boxset. Too bad that it's also rather uninteresting despite the actors involved.

“I've been sitting here for a half-hour looking at you, and I don't know yet whether your eyes are blue or violet.”

I was pretty excited going into this after finding out it was directed by Frank Capra. I’ve only seen two of his films, those being It’s a Wonderful Life and It Happened One Night. I had high hopes for Platinum Blonde and was pretty disappointed. I’ve heard Capra is pretty hit or miss and this was a clear miss. Although Jean Harlow is a fabulous actress, her, Robert Williams and Loretta Young give some pretty bland performances. It doesn’t help that it felt as if the script was lazily written. I really wish this was better than what it was.

Soundtrack: 6.4/10
