George Cukor must have had lots of fun directing Katherine Hepburn,(Sylvia Scarlett) and Cary Grant, (Jimmy Monkley) in this comedy about Sylvia Scarlett making believe she was a boy with her hair cut very short and her father, Edmund Gwenn, (Henry Scarlett). Henry and Sylvia were forced to leave London, England because Henry had stolen a large sum of money from a firm he had worked at and so father and daughter decided to become con-artists and steal and rob people. However, every time Sylvia tried to pull off a heist, she would goof up and ruin the entire plan. Jimmy Monkley joins the team and does not realize that Sylvia is not a boy and this group of crooks get themselves into all kinds of problems with plenty of laughter. Great Classic 1936 film.
