This is an overall mediocre comedy, but it does contain some delightfully risquè lines and situations which could only have happened pre-code. Joe E. Brown is an acquired taste; the real find here is Laura Lee, a peppy comedienne who reminded me of Winnie Lightner (but prettier!) and who, surprisingly, made only a handful of films before retiring. She and Brown fit well together. Warning: the TCM print of this movie is missing a few minutes, which are apparently lost. ** out of 4.
