Reception
Mordaunt Hall of The New York Times said, "Under the rather self-consciously moviesque title of The Hot Heiress, the team of Fields, Rodgers and Hart offer at the Strand a musical comedy romance of poverty and riches. The story is too fragile and stale even for the films, whatever Mr. Fields may have read about screen stories, but the comedy is bright and the tunes are in the gay and lilting Rodgers and Hart manner."[3]
