Handicapped by a cheap story and a limited talent for singing and dancing, Jean Harlow still contrives to give a persuasive and reasonably honest performance.

Maclean's Magazine
Advertised as the first film in which Jean Harlow sings and dances, the actual sequences would fool no one above the age of two. However, whoever does sing does it nicely enough. Miss Harlow moves her lips in tempo and sways hips with magnificent aplomb.

Description by OLDIES.com:
By 1935, every movie fan in the world knew Jean Harlow as both a blonde bombshell and a delightful comedienne. To expand her range, the studio gave her a dramatic role in Reckless -- and Harlow was a hit. She plays musical star Mona Leslie, the bride of a champagne-stewed blueblood. When he blows his brains out, Mona is suspected of his murder, igniting media frenzy.
The film is also notable for its Jerome Kern-Oscar Hammerstein title tune (Harlow, whose considerable skills didn't extend beyond acting, was dubbed and body doubled in the musical numbers), plus a cast that includes Franchot Tone, Rosalind Russell, and as a hotshot promoter, William Powell, who would become the last love of Harlow's tragically short life.
Product Description:
This musical, romantic melodrama stars Jean Harlow as Broadway showgirl Mona Leslie, who has two men in her life. The first is sports promoter Ned Riley; the second is handsome young millionaire Bob Harrison. After a smooching session at a theme park, Mona elopes with Bob. But Bob is still in love with his former fiancée and kills himself when she marries another man-- in the same room with Mona and Ned. Soon the now-pregnant widow and her and her one-time paramour are facing murder charges. Will Mona be able to clear their names and keep her child'
