Bombshell is a 1933 American pre-Code romantic screwball comedy film directed by Victor Fleming and starring Jean Harlow, Lee Tracy, Frank Morgan, C. Aubrey Smith, Mary Forbes and Franchot Tone.

It is based on the unproduced play of the same name by Caroline Francke and Mack Crane, and was adapted for the screen by John Lee Mahin and Jules Furthman.

Burns feels hurt by the rude way Gifford and his parents dump her, and accepts Hanlon's suggestion to return to Hollywood with no regrets.

I had to pick too many splinters out of myself the last time," referring to the 1932 film Red Dust, in which Harlow takes a bath in a rain barrel.

Early in the film, Lola Burns is told she has to shoot re-takes of Red Dust — the title of an actual Harlow/Clark Gable vehicle from the year before.

The nightclub scene was filmed at the Cocoanut Grove club, at the Ambassador Hotel in mid-town Los Angeles.

The Daily News Standard from Pennsylvania gave praise to the film, saying that "Jean Harlow and Lee Tracy together for the first time as co-stars are said to have provided the biggest truckload of laughs to roll out of Hollywood in the hilarious picture."
