Kay Francis and Lilyan Tashman portray what used to be euphemistically labelled "good time girls". They work the convention circuit, providing companionship and other favors for tired business men--who of course lavish the girls with expensive gifts. Francis spoils this little set-up by falling for poor but virtuous Joel McCrea. Meanwhile, Tashman continues plying her trade with wealthy Eugene Pallette, whose wife responds not with jealousy but by trying to imitate Tashman's style! (TCM.com)

Fairly complex little comedy, with a lot of unfiltered period-specific gender politics, that you only get to see during that pretty short pre-code talkie window of opportunity. Though it does feature men, the centrality of women presages Cukor's "The Women".

Pra que Casar? estreava há 90 anos nos EUA. Ao mesmo tempo que é uma delícia da amoralidade pre-code, é também tolinho se comparado ao que o Lubitsch estava fazendo na época em termos de comédias românticas. Sim, tal como Billy Wilder meu parâmetro no gênero é "“How would Lubitsch do it?" Youtube ( https://youtu.be/Qr0dLkCyzqk )

A kind of brilliant study of sexual politics, which criticizes a certain controlling image as unfair but also suggests our real expectations are couched in something that isn't completely authentic. Also, it's cute. More here: cinematalk.wordpress.com/2014/03/18/girls-about-town-1931/

Kay Francis & Lilyan Tashman play a couple of escorts, flirting and being a good time for the gentlemen. One falls in love with an honest man, the other tries to hook in a tight-fisted old rich man. The girls shine in this and Eugene Pallette is good as the comic element. This is light comedy on a filthy subject and is entertaining for what it is, while it's not a major picture.
