LIBELED LADY
"LIBELED LADY" --- (1936) ---
MY THOUGHTS: I thoroughly enjoy watching this film every time I see it! The actors all did a terrific job, and it is nice seeing William Powell and Myrna Loy together, in something other than a "Thin Man" movie. (This was, in fact, 5th of 14 films they did together). The pace is quick and there is a lot to be amused by. No wonder it is considered a "classic!"
SYNOPSIS: When a major newspaper accuses wealthy socialite Connie Allenbury of being a homewrecker, and she files a multi-million-dollar libel lawsuit, the publication's frazzled head editor, Warren Haggerty, must find a way to turn the tables on her.
