Gaffes
When the woman's personality is in the man's body and the actor in the part shows this with female reactions and gestures, he looks at his fingernails by holding his hand palm up and bending the fingers toward himself. This is the way a man, not a woman, regards their fingernails, and it often appears in fiction as one way by which a man dressed as a woman is caught out. Women study their fingernails by holding a hand palm down and extending the fingers so that they are flat with the rest of the hand.

"Darling, you wouldn't have much fun in a kennel."

Turnabout is the story of a married couple who bickers more than anyone you've ever seen. Mr. Willows (John Hubbard) and Mrs. Willows (Carole Landis) lead separate lives, and come home to fight about it. Mr. Willows is a partner for an advertising company and Mrs. Willows gossips and plays bridge with the other partners' wives. But there is one thing they can agree upon; they would love to switch lives with each other. A mysterious statue in their bedroom grants their request, and off he goes in a dress and off she goes prancing around in a suit. To say that their acquaintances are surprised would be an understatement and hilarity ensues.

Also appearing are famous names like Adolphe Menjou, Mary Astor, Inez Courtney, and Marjorie Main.

Stories like this are always entertaining, and when comedies are made on the Hal Roach lot, you're bound for success. This little known gem holds plenty of laughs, but it also abounds with a lightheartedness that can cheer anyone up on a bad day.
