Steve D Extremely thin but Ginger is a blast. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Great Cast that must works with a goofy script. I can understand why it was a hit back in 1940. The plot is progressive and optimistic, two characteristics very lacking in a modern audience. It's just a fun little movie that showcases the talents of every cast member. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Funny in spurts, but that last act with the court scenes really drags the movie to a halt. There's also just something a little rapey about Ronald Colman, watch out Ginger! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Cute if improbable comedy with Ronald Colman and Ginger working well together. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member rather hokey situation to wrap its self into when all it could have been was a romance between the main cast the way the film first starts. Things and character are dropped in the audience lap for no reason and the mystery indentity surprise was just a waste of writing. The only highlight of the film is the ever delightful Harry Devenport as the judge. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member another witty breezy preWWII comedy Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
