COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Great Fun submitted by rossorr on October 4, 2016, 10:01am If you wanted to introduce someone to the pleasures of classic Hollywood, this movie could be a fine place to start: Barbara Stanwyck and Gary Cooper at their most crushworthy; loads of eccentric character actors; a snappy and amusing story; and a sentimental happy ending.
Classic screwball comedy submitted by mandevil on September 22, 2020, 11:53pm Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck are terrific with an outstanding supporting cast.
