| Three Movie BuffsScott NashThe controversy surrounding it has long since faded away, but the humor is timeless. |
| The NationJames AgeeI suspect that Sturges feels that conscience and comedy are incompatible. It would be hard for a man of talent to make a more self-destructive mistake. |
| Radio TimesDick FiddyWriter/director Preston Sturges was one of Hollywood's greatest satirists and this blistering comedy is one of his best films. |
| Glyphs Film GuideScott TobiasIf you enjoy films for their dialog, you are either a Preston Sturges fan or soon will be. |
| Kansas City KansanSteve CrumWay ahead of its time Sturges comedy, great dialogue, plot |
| minnpost.comRob NelsonSix decades before Diablo Cody and Juno, Preston Sturges carried unplanned comedy to term. |
| Time OutGeoff AndrewGreat verbal gags and non-sequiturs, fast-paced action, and a thorough irreverence for all things deemed respectable -- politicians, policemen and magistrates included -- make it a lasting delight. |
| Empire MagazineDavid ParkinsonSturges' no-holds-barred comic cristicism of American Forces abroad is still challenging and funny. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseStands out for its sheer audacity of subject matter and its sustained emotional-roller-coaster effect: it's quite possibly the most high-strung movie ever made. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...an extremely dated and thoroughly mediocre piece of work. |
