      Eduardo Guaitsel Cine-Mundial Has a pretty decent storyline and also brims with good humor. [Full review in Spanish] Nov 19, 2020 Full Review Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy) Esquire Magazine A speedy and witty script makes even Dick Powell bearable. Apr 20, 2020 Full Review Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine It's a fresh and lively picture, and will probably start a whole new train of ideas in Hollywood. In fact, it won't, surprise us now if they make a picture showing Shirley Temple running for the United States Senate. Jul 22, 2019 Full Review Michael E.
