I've seen it many times and like it better each time I see it. It is, IMHO, one of the greatest films of American cinema. As a comedy, I would rate it #1. Otherwise it is definitely in my top 10.Despite being shot in the early 1930s, it is definitely not out of date. One forgets the antique clothing and automobiles and the other 30s trappings after a few minutes. It's such a wonderful film that those things, while interesting, don't really matter.
And don't you think "the walls of Jericho" scene is one of the watershed scenes in film comedy history?
My wife, who usually hates old movies, expecially those in black and white, actually sat down with me to watch the film (I guess I nagged her into it). She loved it!
It is so much better than most contempory movies. Of course, it was better than most of the other movies made in 1934, too. There was just as much junk in those days as there is now. It's just that we seldom remember those bad films of bygone days.
