Featured review
Perfect comedy with elements of slapstick
This picture is killingly funny. Newspaper man Tyrone Power is sent by his editor (Don Ameche) to get a scoop: an exclusive interview with an heiress arriving in New York (played by Loretta Young). He tricks his way into her airplane, she realises what he is after and turns the tables on him by announcing to his colleagues that he is her fiancee. Now they are hounding him. For the rest of the film, the two of them trick and fool each other, with hilarious results. The scene in jail is unsurpassed. There are elements of slapstick (Ty trying to close the drawers of his dresser without banging his head, Don Ameche taking him on and off the payroll), but the focus is on dialogue and on the reporter and the heiress sparing with each other. The two of them have great chemistry and comic timing. I can't imagine why this film is not much better known.
