      Steve D Not without its moments but it gets old fast. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Powell is always good. Lamarr was lackluster. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Rather bland screwball comedy is made more watchable than it deserves by the brilliant William Powell and to a lesser degree Hedy Lamarr. Not a bad film, but pretty average outside of it's stars. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It was cute. Silly at times, but a valuable lesson can be drawn from this. Pay attention to your wife or you could lose her! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member good stuff hedy & powell click together Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Hedy ravishing, Bill Powell as adroit as ever, script about what you'd expect but well played. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
