Ladies Should Listen (1934)



The switchboard operator in an apartment building falls in love with a businessman (and playboy) who lives in the building, whom she has gotten to know only over the phone.

Lively, but only fairly entertaining screwball comedy; it lacks wit and sharpness and is only occasionally funny, but does showcase the talent of young Cary Grant.

Halliwell (no star): "Moderately beguiling, instantly forgettable romantic frou-frou."

Maltin**: "...flimsy comedy, no great shakes."
