The Mad Miss Manton - 1938 - 6/10

Fast paced RKO comedy aims for screwball but is too scattershot.
Rich heiress, out walking her pampered pooches, investigates an open apartment and finds a corpse.
Police are alerted, police arrive – and no body!
Chalk it up as another prank by Manton and her rich girlfriends, whooping it up in the Great Depression.
The girls do their own investigating, with or without cops and a meddling reporter.

Actually, the girls, swathed in furs, gowns, and jewels, are fun.
Henry Fonda is out of his depth, and there is no chemistry between him and Barbara Stanwyck (terrific).
