      Graham Greene The Spectator There is nothing at all to resent in the picture; it is admirably directed, amusingly written, and acted with immense virtuosity by a fine cast. May 10, 2018 Full Review Ken Hanke Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Amazingly adept at being a screwball comedy while being almost giddily romantic, striking just the right note in both capacities. Rated: 4.5/5 Jan 20, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews
