      J.W. Stepp Washington Star As for the effect of the film's incidental -- it is surely incidental -- content, it is the same as that of a shiny bauble from the leftover counter of Woolworth's. Jun 10, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

      martin a A charming, over the top, camp love story, very enjoyable Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Tom M Goddard is adorable and Milland is more likable than usual in great wartime comedy. It's dissappointing than many reviewers forget that they're rating a movie that's 70 or 80 years old. In 1943 (and today), Goddard's performance is perfect. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/30/20 Full Review Audience Member This is a romantic comedy typicaly entertaining and comedic for its day. Give it a shot! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review kevin w No more than brief side trip to whimsical, this romance teams Ray Milland and Paulette Goddard. There are the machinations typical of this genre present and accounted for, but at the end of the day does it really matter? When the opening credits roll you already know how everything will turn out and there are no surprises to allay your suspicions. Still the cast bring all their powers of charismatic persuasion to the table and thereby make this palatable pablum. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Utterly fun, snappy, well written, smartly filmed, and all round entertaining--It was wonderful to see the stars at their peaks... Delightful Romantic Comedy!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member watta waste of talents, it's too forgettable :I Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
