- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Cynically witty lines, top-notch characterizations and welcome guest appearances by Jimmy Durante and Reginald Gardner (doing a take on Noel Coward) make for classic comedy."
-
"It's a pleasant movie, not quite up to its reputation."
-
"The play was built on topical jokes and a series of vaudeville turns, and in this version the jokes are flat and the turns seemed forced and not very funny."
