 Amazon.com: Video: Dinner at Eight (1934)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
I think one reason it is thought to be a comedy is the final lines of the film, where the decidedly unbookish Jean Harlow tells Marie Dressler that she had been reading in a book (a revelation that visibly jolts Dressler) that in the future all jobs would be done by machines.
Yes, the destruction of the Jordan shipping company has been prevented by Jean Harlow's character flmailing her husband, who has been trying to buy a majority of the company shares via a proxy, but it doesn't change the sense of precariousness that pervades the film.
Jean Harlow's hair always struck me as a bit surreal, but there is no question that she possessed an earthy sexiness and beauty that was unique in thirties Hollywood.

 Amazon.ca: Video: Dinner at Eight [IMPORT]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
I find "Dinner at Eight", to be by far the best of the multi plot all star stories produced during the 1930's and it constantly amazes me at the sheer star power the major studios and MGM in particular had at their disposal in the golden era.
Jean Harlow gives one of her best performances as the tough social climber, and her fight scenes with Beery are well played by both.
Affluent hostess, Millicent Jordon (Billie Burke) is so enraptured at the prospect of throwing the society party of the decade that she eschews all other concerns in favor of the frivolities associated with such a swank soiree.

 VH1.com : Movies : Person : Jean Hersholt : Biography
Hersholt's screen image was altered permanently in 1936, when he was cast as Dr. Dafoe, the Canadian obstetrician who delivered the celebrated Dionne Quintuplets, in 20th Century-Fox's The Country Doctor.
Plans to create a Dr. Dafoe movie series were blocked by the real Dafoe, but Jean Hersholt was anxious to sustain the characterization of a beneficent, lovable small-town medico; thus Dr. Christian -- named for Hersholt's favorite author, Hans Christian Andersen -- was born.
After the actor's death, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award was set up to honor conspicuous acts of selflessness and kindness in the movie industry.
