| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzSubstandard screwball comedy has the silliness but lacks the humor, as its directed without an ear for zany comedy by Rowland V Lee. |
| User ReviewJames HEnjoyable minor classic, the cast is surprisingly good. Some good music, laughs along the way and fine performances, especially the supporting cast. |
| User Reviewjay nMid thirties studio fodder would be completely forgotten if it didn't have Ida Lupino in one of the star parts. She's very young although starting to move away from the English Jean Harlow mold the studio tried forcing her into at first. Her voice is still high and light not having yet acquire the smoky whiskey tinge that was to come within a few years. She and the forgotten Lederer make an attractive couple but this is a minor romantic comedy nothing more. |
