  What a delightful murder mystery comedy, Barbara Stanwyck is amazing as always, she and Henry Fonda make a great teaming. Very entertaining, great pace and well produced. Snappy well written screenplay.

  This is one of my Favorites of all times, in fact, I'm watching it now. I recorded it one night from TCM. It has to be at least two years ago. Please bring it to dvd so that I can add it to my collection of classics. Stanwyck and Fonda together are hilarious, just as they are in The Lady Eve, which can be found on dvd.

• love it

• BABS AND HATTIE A PURE DELIGHT

  In the vein of "The Thin Man" and "My Man Godfrey" this is a wonderfully delightful screwball amateur sleuth comedy. Ms. Stanwyck stars (and shines) in the title role as Mesa Manton and Hattie McDaniel as Stanwyck's maid, Hilda, are simply divine. A MUST FOR DVD.

• Wonderfully MAD! movie

  This movie is so entertaining. I have been waiting for years for someone to release this on DVD. Barbara Stanwyck is incredible in this film. Actually , everyone in this movie is incredible. Whatever you do don't miss this one. Fun-Fun Fun!

• The Mad Miss Manton a Pure Delight!

  This old screwball comedy classic is a pure delight with Barbara Stanwyck's antics in getting her society friends involved in solving a murder case and her evolving romantic relationship with Henry Fonda who is on the case and not appreciating her meddling. Alls well that ends wells in these wonderful old classic films.

• Lighthearted comedic romp for Stanwyck

  I love Barbara Stanwyck in this movie. She goes from dizzy heiress to master sleuth - watch out Nancy Drew!
