Reception

The film recorded a loss of $111,845.[1]

Writing for The Spectator in 1936, Graham Greene gave the film a good review, describing it as "a trivial charming comedy". Greene praised Dorothy Parker's comedy writing and the acting of Margaret Sullavan and Henry Fonda for providing "the sense of something fresh and absurd and civilized".[2]

On radio

Lux Radio Theatre aired a one-hour adaptation of the film on February 10, 1941, with James Stewart and Carole Lombard in the leading roles.[3]
