Description:	Dizzy heiress Melsa Manton and her manicured band of Park Avenue pranksters think Manhattan is an amusement park built just for them. So when Melsa stumbles across a murder victim, the pranksters decide to play detective. The only trouble is that the murderer is playing too ' for keeps. "Mad Miss Manton" is a classic screwball comedy-mystery film released in 1938, now available on DVD from the renowned studio RKO Radio Pictures. The story follows socialite Melsa Manton, played by Barbara Stanwyck, who stumbles upon a murder and becomes entangled in an investigation alongside reporter Peter Ames, portrayed by Henry Fonda. Their witty banter and chemistry drive this fast-paced tale of intrigue and humor. RKO Radio Pictures was one of Hollywood's legendary studios during the Golden Age of cinema, responsible for iconic films such as "King Kong," "Citizen Kane," and "Bringing Up Baby." Known for their innovation and high production values, RKO helped shape modern filmmaking. Barbara Stanwyck was one of Hollywood?s most versatile actresses with acclaimed performances in classics like "Double Indemnity," "Stella Dallas," and later TV?s "The Big Valley." Her co-star Henry Fonda became famous for roles in masterpieces such as "The Grapes of Wrath" and "12 Angry Men." Director Leigh Jason brought his comedic touch to several successful films throughout the 1930s and '40s. Supporting cast members include Sam Levene ("After the Thin Man") and Hattie McDaniel (the first African-American Oscar winner for her role in ?Gone with the Wind?). Together they create a sparkling ensemble that makes ?Mad Miss Manton? an enduring favorite among fans of vintage cinema.
