How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A snappy pre-Code comedy that uses marital chaos to skewer the hypocrisy of marriage and gender double standards. Sharp-tongued and surprisingly progressive for 1933, it's buoyed by wit rather than sentimentality.
