Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSupporting player Vickie Lester took her name from Janet Gaynor's character in A Star Is Born (1937). Unfortunately, she never achieved stardom and, after only a handful of films, she retired from the silver screen and opened a dress shop selling original gowns of her own design.
- GoofsWhen Melsa first calls the police at the beginning, the police cars are rushing to the Lane mansion. As they pass "Jones Drug Co" and "Barber Shop", the signs are backwards indicating the film has been flipped over.

Helen Frayne: If you kill her, you have to kill all of us!
Dora Fenton: Oh! You're always talking communism.

Stylish Comedy/Mystery
I sI saw this on TV when I was young and, though it was trumpeted as hilarious, I didn't like it. Now, I have seen 30 or more movies of around the same period that combine romance, comedy, and mystery. And I have grown to appreciate Barbara Stanwyck as one of the great stars in Hollywood's history. So: I really enjoyed it a lot.
Stanwyck, as the title character, is mad only in the sense of madcap. Probably it is a matter of alliteration more than anything else. Henry Fonda is fun as the newspaper man who hates and then falls for her.
A few years later, they were to be teamed again in Preston Sturges's great "The Lady Eve."
The subway is a good gimmick, and all the minor players are fun. Miss Manton, or as we'd say today Ms. Manton, has a whole crew of gal-pals, who scream and giggle and make the whole affair very lively indeed.
