Review

funny preston sturges comedy starring fonda and stanwyck. the word play is great and the humor is subtle, so you have to be on your toes when you watch this one. plot-wise it’s nothing really new, though maybe it was for the time. mistaken intentions of two potential lovers leads to a break, but everything works itself out in the end. a million teen-flicks have used this premise with less spectacular results.
