| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzDated fluff comedy on mistaken identities. |
| User ReviewPrivate Uan undiscovered gem, this is another one of those films that wouldn't be out of place today. laugh out loud all the way through |
| User ReviewLynne Hthis was a good movie, Ginger rogers when she was young, good romantic comedy |
| User ReviewAllan CBreezy lightweight comedy about male/female roommates, Ginger Rogers and Norman Foster, sharing an apartment but never seeing one another due to their work schedules. It's nothing classic, but it's enjoyable enough, largely due to the very likable cast, which also includes George Sidney and Robert Benchley, who also appear in the film. |
| User ReviewGreg WA cute little timewaster starring Ginger Rogers as a financially strapped telemarketer who shares an attic apartment on a shift work basis with an equally strapped nightwatchman/artist, neither ever meeting the other. She stays there at night, he sleeps during the day. Unknowingly, they meet and fall in love, while at the same time leaving each other hateful (and very funny) little notes about each other's living habits. I've never really been a fan of the Rogers/Astaire musicals, but she has always been good in comedies like this one. Note: I'm curious if Billy Wilder was aware of this film while making Sunset Blvd. William Holden tries to sell this story idea almost verbatim to Nancy Olsen. |
| User ReviewI'm El Capitano! AA woman and a man share an apartment with rotating work schedules that make it so they never meet or see each other then they fall in love but don't realize they are the two people sharing the same apartment and actually hate each other...or something, I don't know, the plot is ridiculous but the cast is good. |
