Rudy Vallee turns in his best performance as a gentle, puny millionaire named Hackensacker in this brilliant, simultaneously tender and scalding 1942 screwball comedy by Preston Sturges.

Chicago Reader
Rating: 3.5/4 --
It's about as breezy, carefree, and anarchic as romantic comedies get. Full of absurd comedic digressions and bookends that still don't quite make sense, this eccentric road trip comedy would likely never get made in today's Hollywood climate.

Rating: 4/4 --
This might not be the funniest film of Sturges' brilliant '40s heyday ("The Miracle of Morgan's Creek"), or the most subversively romantic ("The Lady Eve"), or the best made ("Sullivan's Travels"), but it's definitely a censor-baiting treat.

Sturges at his confident best.

It should have been a breathless comedy. But only the actors are breathless -- and that from talking so much.

Leave it to Preston Sturges to create the sexiest and most grown-up romantic comedy of his day.
