Silly? No, stupid. An unfunny, terribly forced attempt at sophisticated comedy so desperate for laughs that it ends with a badly staged comic car chase that went out of style with Max Sennett. Such skilled farceurs as Cary Grant, Genevieve Tobin, and Edward Everett Horton do their best with the feeble dialogue, second-rate gags, and improbable plotting. Only worth watching to hear Grant sing a pleasant Ralph Rainger song decently, see the gorgeous Toby Wing take off some of her clothes, or listen to the Cuban actor Rafael Storm ham it up as an angry Latin lover. This Paramount picture was personally produced by B.P. Schulberg, father of screenwriter Budd, head of the studio in 1934 who was fired that year. Watching this tasteless humorless picture will show you why.
