| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt's an amiable romantic comedy that has pleasing performances by stars Ginger Rogers and Joel McCrea, but little else to recommend it. |
| User ReviewKatie ROne of the most perfect romances ever. Ginger gives her absolute finest performance and is great with Joel McCrea. |
| User ReviewChristopher BA strong cast and intelligent script make this a step above the common film. 2 parts chick-flick and 1 part social-morality tale, this one has a lively repartee throughout. |
| User ReviewMatt HSolid dramatic turn from Ginger Rogers, ended up liking this one quite a bit. Rogers and McCrea near the end are a little too horrible to each other to really want them to get back together, but it still works. Also wanted someone to slap the grandmother a little bit - horrible woman. |

| User ReviewAshley HCorny melodrama about a girl from the wrong side of the tracks, Ginger Rogers, getting involved with an up and coming young businessman, Joel McCrea. It's a pretty standard soaper and the only thing to distinguishes it from others of it's ilk is that the film was rather open about Rogers' mother being a prostitute, which was quite controversial at the time. The average material is greatly elevated by the two leads. |
| User ReviewRed LPleasant enough Ginger Rogers romance which is not stand-out, but is well made. |
