Review by Hans J. Wollstein

Most of its humor derived from characters bearing names like Nutty Bolton and Keyhole McKluskey, A Lady's Profession comes across as a road show version of Damon Runyon. Alison Skipworth, the poor man's Marie Dressler, and the clipped-accented Roland Young do what they can with the material, but there just aren't enough laughs to go around. In the end, A Lady's Profession suffers from a thoroughly contrived plot that steadfastly refuses to go anywhere.
