The picture has a great deal of the easy, good-humored charm of It Happened One Night -- although it doesn't measure up to that classic -- and you will find it highly entertaining. Go to Full Review Fernando F. Croce CinePassion 01/08/2014

Steve D 01/03/2024 With this cast it has no right to be so bad. See more 04/08/2019 just dreadful. how could such a great cast, premise and production go so wrong? probably because preston sturges wasn't available. the best part of the movie is the drunk butler, but who then drives around nyc in a blackout. i guess we're supposed to find that hilarious, but not so much today. See more 07/24/2015 Claudette Colbert makes this film watchable. See more 09/11/2014 Cute with some very dated attitudes and a too abrupt ending. See more 08/06/2014 Claudette Colbert was Perfect, only the ending was kinda anticlimax :I See more 03/31/2013 Snappy dialogue makes this cute (though sexist) comedy a pleasure to watch.
