J.B. Ball, a rich financier, gets fed up with his free-spending family. He takes his wife's just-bought (very expensive) sable coat and throws it out the window, it lands on poor hard-working girl Mary Smith. But it isn't so easy to just give away something so valuable, as he soon learns.
Release date: 16 July 1937

Film Journal 2019 (225 movies items)

"Edward Arnold, Jean Arthur and Luis Alberni being charming as all hell doesn't save Easy Living from being a slapstick comedy with good set-ups but no means to pay them off. It even has means to do good pay-offs, as money was clearly not an issue with the lavish sets and voluminous amounts of dinery and furniture consistently destroyed on screen during the higher-on-the-slapstick moments, but the film is shot so flat you can see the joke coming from a mile away and it never twists them in any wa"
