"Barbara Stanwyck's private life was undergoing many changes during the days following her divorce. She sold her house in Brentwood Heights to Jack Oakie and then, with the help of Zeppo Marx, found a beautiful 140-acre ranch in the San Fernando Valley. She and Marx went in business together breeding horses at the ranch ,called ' Marwyck' . Buck Mack, an old beau of her sister Mildred years earlier moved in and ran the ranch for her. She and Dion took up residence at Marwrick. . |
Marion and Zeppo Marx were Barbara's closest friends and often the three of them would hit one Hollywood nightspot or another One evening ,on the way to the Trocadero, Zeppo told Barbara they had a special friend "R.T." they wanted her to meet. Finally a handsome young man approached the table and Barbara Stanwyck was introduced to Robert Taylor. In a few short days she and Robert became close friends. Although it would be quite some time before Barbara or Bob would confirm the seriousness of their relationship, Barbara Stanwyck and Robert Taylor had the look of a couple very much in love. Taylor had been born Spangler Arlington Brugh on August 5, 1911, in Filley Nebraska. After graduating from college he began studying at the Neely Dixon Dramatic School. In February 1934 Taylor was signed to a seven-year contract at MGM and his name was changed to Robert Taylor. He got involved with Virginia Bruce first and then with Irene Hervey. When he met Barbara Stanwyck he had already broken up with Irene. Stanwyck and Taylor were paired in Stanwyck next film, "His brother's wife" |

Stanwyck was Totally miscast as a Cuban girl of Spanish descent. For the most part, critics ignored the film and the public stayed away. |
Pleasant romantic comedy that was reasonably successful at the box office and received good reviews. |
In her first film after the success of "Annie Oakley", Barbara Stanwyck accepted second billing to Wallace Beery and John Boles for the first time in quite a few years. Why Stanwyck ever accepted a role in this film or agreed to the lesser billing will never be known. |
