Original story and screenplay by Paul Jarrico is a cleverly contrived version of a modern Cinderella with punchy script and dialog.

Of all the Hollywood bubbles which have been blown this way of late, here, we are happy to report, is one which doesn't go poof in your face. It floats off in full-rounded splendor, and the memory lingers on.

... one of the many romantic comedies to spotlight Ginger Rogers' underrated talents as a deft comedienne after she left her screen partnership with Fred Astaire...

This felt like a comedy remake of Kitty Foyle with one extra suitor added. Very odd humor and attempts at satire. Ginger is fine as always, but the script fails her often.

Daffy comedy with Ginger as a bubblehead who has three suitors she can't decide between. Harmless fun.

This is a comical story, yet I felt that the plot moved too slowly, likely because there wasn't a whole lot to fill it out. Nevertheless, I stayed to find out what would happen in the end with Janie's three fiances.
