The last film that Jean Harlow actually completed before her death, Personal Property is a frothy little comedy that provides a fair amount of entertainment. A remake of a 1931 film, Property would have been better had it also been produced pre-Code, for some of the more risqué situations have been toned down for the remake, to the film's detriment. This is the kind of film that needs a hint more naughtiness; not vulgarity, simply something to raise the eyebrow slightly. Property also might have benefited from a different director, W.S. Van Dyke, forever known as "One Take Woody" for his reluctance to do retakes, doesn't have the panache for this particular picture, and his pacing is off. These reservations aside, Property is a pleasing little film, thanks to Harlow's typically assured and engaging performance and from a pretty good turn from Robert Taylor, whose work in comedy produced uneven results. This is one of his better performances, and there's a sprightly chemistry between Taylor and Harlow that shores up some potentially weak scenes. The supporting cast is first rate, and the physical production is typical of MGM fare of the time.
