	DVD Verdict Review - Libeled Lady
		With four terrific stars to anchor Libeled Lady, it's difficult to know where to start discussing the acting, but I'm going to start with Myrna Loy for the perfectly subjective reason that, among the four stars, she gets short shrift in the packaging of this movie.
		Libeled Lady also makes the unusual and even courageous move to omit a scene that we all sense is coming—the one in which Connie confronts Bill about all the lies he's told her.
		Libeled Lady deserves to be recognized as one of the best screwball comedies of the 1930s, and this release should heighten awareness of this wonderful comedy.

		From a professional standpoint, Libeled Lady marked a return to the kind of brassy comic leads that had made her a star.
		Harlow and her co-stars were helped a great deal by a solid script that took the usual screwball comedy formula and doubled it.
		Rather than let them postpone shooting - the casting office was already closed for the night - Harlow put on a fl wig and joined the rest of the extras, a return to the work she had done when she first arrived in Hollywood.

		But Libeled Lady is better than The Thin Man, and also better than two more famous films from 1936 also starring William Powell, The Great Ziegfeld and My Man Godfrey.
		The plot of Libeled Lady is vaguely similar to many Hollywood comedies of the era.
		Libeled Lady proved to be the best film in the career of veteran director Jack Conway.

		Libel suits have been the ruin of many a paper before, but if top reporter Warren Haggerty (Spencer Tracy) can help it, Connie will be the one ruined by the end of this predicament.
		Libeled Lady is also clever in poking fun at, and opening one’s eyes to, one of the most common human pastimes: jumping to conclusions.
		Delightful, thought provoking and dizzyingly funny, Libeled Lady is the definition of a classic: a work of enduring excellence to be enjoyed by all generations.

		Directed by Jack Conroy, 1936's Libeled Lady is a minor screwball of modest pleasures.
		Though the sex comedy is sharp, the plotting isn't sure-footed (thought there's a good set-piece when Powell learns to fish and accidentally hooks Harlow's posterior), and the resolution lacks the precision one hopes for from a genre entry.
		Warner presents Libeled Lady in a good full-frame transfer (1.33:1 OAR)and in monaural DD 1.0 audio.

		Libeled Lady was one of the hits, and ranks in the top tier of original MGM comedies.
		Connie's outraged father (Walter Connolly) quickly files a $5 million libel suit, which threatens to bankrupt the Star and stop its presses forever—unless, of course, Warren can somehow prove "America's International Playgirl" is a sexual predator after all.
		Though MGM often cast the blonde bombshell as a sexy siren, comedy was definitely her domain, and Libeled Lady showcases her effervescent personality, spot-on timing, and outrageous sense of fun.

		"Libeled Lady" is a gem of a comedy and it is not just a William Powell/Myrna Loy film.
		But "Libeled Lady" gives Jean Harlow (sans the platinum blonde hair she never needed) a golden opportunity to show that comedy was her forte and she is with three great stars and a director who made a complicated story into a delightful screwball comedy.
		Judy Holliday also must have watched LIBELED LADY also, because many of Judy's tricks were taken from Harlow as Gladys.

		Libeled Lady (1936) is one of the sprightliest entries in Warner Home Video's Classic Comedies Collection DVD box set.
		The star power in Libeled Lady is on display straight from the opening titles, under which we see Jean Harlow, Spencer Tracy, Myrna Loy, and William Powell striding arm-in-arm toward the camera.
		ConwayÂ¿s touch is evident in some of the rowdier moments of Libeled Lady, notably the on-location sequence of the refined Powell - totally out of his element while trying to fish in a rugged trout stream.

		Essentially, Myrna Loy is an heiress suing a newspaper for libel (five million dollar lawsuit), and Spencer Tracy defends his newspaper by using fiancee Jean Harlow and writer William Powell to prove that the story his paper originally printed about Loy was actually true.
		"Libeled Layd" is a first rate sardonic comedy with moments of slapstick and farce well served by a stellar cast.
		This is a great film that's held neatly together with witty dialogue and fueled by the first rate performances of its lead stars Spencer Tracy, Myrna Loy, William Powell and Jean Harlow.

		For those less familiar with these now 70-year-old movies, the collection is a well-chosen introduction to the Best of Hollywood, a cross-section of star power, fast and funny dialogue, social and political satire, screwball and romantic comedy, everything - including the individual strengths and styles of several different studios.
		Libeled Lady is light on extras, including only a rather pointless radio promo, Leo is On the Air, with audio excerpts from the film; and a Theatrical Trailer, notable for shots of the four principals arm-in-arm strolling about the MGM lot, much as they do over the feature film's opening titles.
		The DVD of To Be or Not to Be includes an early Benny two-reeler, The Rounder (1930), with the actor uncharacteristically cast as a drunk playboy.

		Powell and Harlow were engaged, and much has been made of their pensive love affair until her surprise illness and death only one year later.
		There are some curious reflections from real life in the otherwise goofy and convoluted plot of Libeled Lady.
		If the movie were really any good, the two women might give the unscathed, sweetly befuddled Powell a piece of their minds for stringing them along until the cows come home—but Libeled Lady is too lazy to follow through on its moral dilemma.
