This movie definitely hasn't managed to escape its stage origins: the few characters, the limited sets and the talky nature of the script result in a rather static comedy. The story is slim, too, and can barely sustain the film's 103 minutes. However, the lively performances, the often witty dialogue (the gimmick of having the main character talk constantly to himself is annoying at first but then you adjust to it) and, of course, Monroe's stunning beauty somehow make you overlook the film's flaws. Good-natured, glossy and highly enjoyable.
