Madcap screwball comedy from 1942. Lickety-split dialogue...preposterous plot developments...unrealistic characters...and, sometimes, a lot of fun. But not always. I thought JM's character was annoyingly contentious and the richies were too absurd for a modern eye.
But Rudy Vallee was quite good as the Rockefelleresque heir and I enjoyed watching Mary Astor in such an over-the-top role.
Not my favorite among Sturges' films.
