The dialogue is funny without being crass, which is unheard of in recent films. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 8 Funny in 01 hour and 31 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sullivan who discovers that the best things are the things that keep us going rather than bring us down. See more Ernie K @ErnieK 02/12/2025 Intelligent, funny, socially meaningful, well written, and very well acted by the too-often-overlooked Joel McCrea and a bully and sharp Veronica Lake. Give this one a try; timeless message meets comedic genius. See more Blu B @RT43513976 12/25/2024 All Time Classic. The dialouge is amazing in this. Super snappy and the chemistry between the two leads is phenominal. Lake really is the best thing here and that's saying a lot because there is so much here. The jokes are really funny even after all this time and really clever. There is TONS of underlying commentary about poverty, being in your Ivory Tower, looking down on others, and the power of comedy. All with a slight meta touch to it. The direction is top notch. What's crazy is how in the second half the tone really changes and becomes more of a drama than anything with the slapstick, and laugh out loud moments kind of stop and it gets suprisingly dark. It goes long stretches also with no dialouge in the second half as well which really show the level of understanding of the medium that you don't see in many pics let alone comedies. Top Notch. Everyone should give this a try once. See more Read all reviews
