Mad Miss Manton, The (US Import BLU-RAY)

US Import

This zany screwball comedy classic finds Barbara Stanwyck starring as dizzy heiress Melsa Manton. Melsa, and her manicured band of Park Avenue pranksters think Manhattan is an amusement park built just for them. When Melsa stumbles across a murder victim, the pranksters decide to play detective. The only trouble is the murderer is playing too – for keeps. Henry Fonda is Gotham reporter Peter Ames, who falls headlines-over-heels for Melsa. They're destined for romance, with a few detours on the way, including a missing body, a safecracker, a charity ball rife with motives, and mystery as well as another corpse (kept conveniently cold in fridge). It's a witty, madcap whodunit. Leave it to Stanwyck and Fonda to show exactly how it's done!
