The Richest Girl in the World (1934) Miriam Hopkins and Joel McCrea in a silly farce showing how terribly inconvenient it is to be unbelievably wealthy. Hopkins is the Girl, who wants to be loved just for herself so badly that she makes it virtually impossible - as a test. She's peppy as hell and cute as a bug and I'd be all over her in a chinese minute if she were not so damn neurotic. If it hit you in the right mood or you hadn't already seen about twenty of these this might be as gay and charming as intended, but I get cranky when the movie could be brought to an abrupt end if any one of half a dozen characters spoke a single sentence, and that is the whole plot of this movie, that nobody does that. So for me, 4/10
