Barbara Stanwyck sizzles, Henry Fonda bumbles, and Preston Sturges runs riot in one of the all-time great screwballs, a pitch-perfect blend of comic zing and swoon worthy romance that Sturges wrote, directed, and produced.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Lovely film submitted by brooksza on August 16, 2022, 11:13pm Wonderful chemistry between Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda. Henry Fonda did a great job with the physical pratfalls. I especially liked the cruise ship setting, it made me want to go on vacation.

Some of the dialogue was hard to understand on this Blu-ray.
