| User ReviewMatt Dvery good stuff from the best year(1939) in movie history |
| User ReviewGreg Wdelightful rom-com from that magical year, 1939. |
| User ReviewJames HMinor but entertaining fluff, the stars are good and the score is memorable. (It was nominated for best score in a very competitive year). David Niven gives a natural performance, Loretta Young comes off a little stiff though. |
| User ReviewKatie RThis was one of my very favorite movies when I was a kid. Let's just say... I kind of wish I hadn't watched it again. It's not a bad movie at all. It's just not great, and rewatching it at 23 really ruined the magic I felt watching it at 12. The earlier scenes are good, when Niven and Young are married and doing their magic act together. But once they split and it becomes a remarriage comedy, it majorly falters, especially when held up against brilliant remarriage comedies like Hitchcock's Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Sturges' The Lady Eve. |
| User ReviewCassie DA nice bit of fluff with C Aubrey Smith, David Niven, Eve Arden and Loretta Young. |
| User ReviewPatrick LI'm not a watcher of many Niven films (not my generation of course) but this was an interesting film as he plays an escape artist and magician. |
| User ReviewMatt MMediocre film for both Loretta Young and David Niven to be starring in. This story is about the marriage between a woman and a magician that goes wrong after she starts believing his career is causing them unhappiness. The film takes almost inconceivable plot turns and only find redemption in the talent of its cast. To make matters worse, it is poorly photographed and directed. |
| User ReviewRoland JA decent movie, good acting by David Niven makes up in part for an otherwise disappointing watch. |
