Another melancholy ending for Harlow's character
This is one of several films that Harlow starred in in which her character gets a non-happy ending. Wife vs. Secretary, Dinner at 8, Libeled Lady, Red-Headed Woman, Platinum Blonde, etc. All of these films leave Harlow's character in the lurch. I find it very sad and ironic. Almost as if Hollywood knew that her life would have a sad ending as well. Even though she was labeled a "bombshell" her character is always passed over for a plainer brunette by her object of affection. It's strange...
