At the end of the scene where Ann Harding first comes up to Wm Powell's apartment they kiss and she exclaims "My flowers!" and then fade to black--end of scene. Great double entendre. It leaves much to the imagination and avoids the vulgarity so common in many modern movies.

I thought the same thing. She's being "deflowered" as it were.

Although I liked the film, I did miss Powell's jaunty insouciance. He was someone more straight here.

Am I anywhere near the imaginary cliff?

Agree. I liked the double entendre and thought the words terribly romantic!

I love that he didn't give a darn about crushing those flowers......and crush them he did......they complete disappeared in that embrace! Does make you wonder, imagine, or suspect what actually happens next...so romantic and.......so sexy!
