Stewart, adorável como sempre (talvez mais), encanta com sua ‘insana’ simpatia, enquanto Hull arranca boas risadas com o enérgico histerismo de sua personagem.

Henry Koster might not have been the right director for this whimsical fantasy, based on the 1944 Pulitzer Prize-winning play, but Jimmy Stewart and especially Josephine Hull (in an Oscar-winning turn) are superb.
