Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
Dated, but Harlow is in her prime.
Kansas City Kansan
Rating: B --
Harlow gives a star quality comedy turn that's spoiled only by too much speechifying on her part.

Rating: 4/5 --
Surprising for something so mean-spirited to have come so early in the Dream Factory's saga of self-loathing, and even more surprising because it seems so heartfelt.

A wonderful reminder of how great both Tracy and Harlow really were
Kalamazoo Gazette
Rating: 4.5/5 --
It's all funny and on-target, but most of the satire is -- as you might expect -- not too unkind.

Description by OLDIES.com:
"Your hair is like a field of silver daisies," a rhapsodic suitor tells Tinseltown megastar Lola Burns. "I'd like to run barefoot through your hair." In her signature comedy, Jean Harlow shimmers and smolders as Lola, whose life is a dizzy whirlpool of studio expectations, adoring fans, familial leeches and most of all, a firecracker of a freewheeling press agent (Lee Tracy) who'd do handsprings through a minefield if it would keep Lola's name in the tabloids. But Lola is ready to provide a final headline herself. She's quitting the biz. Leaving. Abandoning the sham and the glam for the pitter-patter of tiny feet. Can Hollywood -- and a certain P.R. flack -- prevent it?
