Rating: - Delightful Jean Harlow Vehicle by Anita Loos
Sam Wood is the director of THE GIRL FROM MISSOURI but this movie so thoroughly marked an "Anita Loos film". The legendary comic author/screenwriter never had a better actress for her stories than the beautiful, talented and totally endearing Jean Harlow and the Harlow/Loos combo whipped up a number of classic motion pictures. MISSOURI is one of the less known of the bunch but it's a fine comedy of a sexy gal from the wrong side of the tracks who is bound and determined to land a rich husband but ... Read More

THE GIRL FROM MISSOURI is a surprisingly good movie. It is a comedy which allows Jean Harlow to show her versatility as an actress.

Rating:  - A delightful Harlow escapade

Rating: - Harlow Excels at Comedy
I've seen alot of Harlow films, and in my opinion, this is one of the best. It's funny, upbeat, and although the costumes aren't as striking as in some of her other films, I think that it suits her character. Harlow is perfectly cast and in her element in this film.
