Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy) Esquire Magazine Mary Pickford tried God and produced a French farce. May 4, 2020 Full Review Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine light and frothy from start to finish. Thanks to [the producers] and to the principals, it's well worth seeing. And thanks to Hugh Herbert, it's worth seeing twice. Jul 22, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Substandard screwball comedy has the silliness but lacks the humor, as its directed without an ear for zany comedy by Rowland V Lee. Rated: C Dec 30, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Mid thirties studio fodder would be completely forgotten if it didn't have Ida Lupino in one of the star parts. She's very young although starting to move away from the English Jean Harlow mold the studio tried forcing her into at first. Her voice is still high and light not having yet acquire the smoky whiskey tinge that was to come within a few years. She and the forgotten Lederer make an attractive couple but this is a minor romantic comedy nothing more. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Enjoyable minor classic, the cast is surprisingly good. Some good music, laughs along the way and fine performances, especially the supporting cast. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
