MGM (Warner) claimed The whirlwind comedy Bombshell deserves a place in the pantheon next to such screwball cinema classics as Bringing Up Baby and My Man Godfrey. The incomparable ´laughing vamp´ Jean Harlow, for whom the term bombshell might well have been coined, scintillates in this ferocious exposé of the Hollywood studio system. Harlow essentially plays herself: a platinum blond sex goddess--here named Lola Burns--who every woman wants to be and every man wants to bed. (The line between fiction and reality is so thin here that Lola shoots retakes of Harlow´s movie Red Dust.) The world sees Lola´s life as a glamorous bed of roses, but her real existence abounds with thorns. She´s a ´glorified chump,´ surrounded by sycophants, spongers, and salesmen--not to mention a rabid press, egged on by the studio´s double-dealing freight train of a press agent, Space Hanlon (the kinetic Lee Tracy). Lola even has a stalker! But she longs for life´s simple pleasures: a quiet home and the patter of little feet (at least that´s what she wants this week). The film is blessed with a first-rate supporting cast, especially Frank Morgan (the Wizard in The Wizard of Oz) as Lola´s blowhard, boozing father; Una Merkel as her sour, sticky-fingered personal assistant; and Louise Beavers as her much-beleaguered maid. Three enormous, energetic English sheepdogs--Harlow´s own--jump into the fray whenever a dull moment threatens. Luckily, none come to pass. --Laura Mirsky
