Robert Montgomery is not my favorite, but he does hold up his end in this film. The script is well-written, but the two stars have zero chemistry and Bette Davis appears ill, tired and disinterested in this part. She is noticeably thin and perhaps she was really ill. In any case, they are both too old for their roles.
What saves this movie is the well-written script and Tom Tully's outdoor cider jug! Of course, any movie with Bette Davis is worth watching, and this one is no exception. I don't think comedy is really her forte anyway, and her performance and characterization strongly remind me of "The Man Who Came To Dinner" done several years before this one. That one, of course, is much better-written, and it puts Bette's character in a supporting role and makes more sense of her romantic situation. Even in 1950, would a successful magazine editor give up everything for a husband without a job?
