Perhaps this is why it remains evergreen. Sturges' gift for malapropism is also uniquely fine. Luis Alberni delivers these lines with wonderful flare. Edward Arnold was never more engaging. This is a prototype feel-good film with intelligence and sophistication at its core.James MacDonaldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307577717655310918.post-33071627292477392982014-05-11T12:16:12.722-04:002014-05-11T12:16:12.722-04:00Wonderful review, thank you.

In this, she's so artless that she makes even Milland look like a fool - no mean feat in my opinion!

I can't decide if I like the automat riot scene (I laugh every time the ice cream and coffee machines go haywire) or the bathtub scene…it's a fantastic screwball comedy with such great lines and moments throughout!

I like Arnold and Arthur so much together that Milland seems like an afterthought, though that automat scene kills me. Thanks for the great review!
