| User ReviewH SEntertaining romantic comedy for adults. Loretta Young and Ray Milland use their star power to make preposterous circumstances almost seem normal. The type of adult comedy that isn't made today. Nothing risque. No four letter words. No preaching. No political correctness. Just pure entertainment. |
| User ReviewTimothy MBogs down in the middle, but still fun. Especially enjoyable to watch the relationship progress. Young almost passes for a feminist, Milland is befuddled, Patrick- annoyingly sweet, and Gwenn the Father-in-Law you always wanted. Perfect casting. Wish I could duplicate that noise that Milland makes at the end, though. |
| User ReviewPaul SThis one's not too bad. Loretta Young is pretty charming. Typical screwball comedy. |
