August has hired a private detective (Edgar Kennedy) to keep tabs on her.

Pauline Kael The New Yorker 04/07/2016
One of the most sophisticated slapstick comedies ever made. Go to Full Review Dave Kehr Chicago Reader 11/12/2007
No director ever matched Preston Sturges's way of blending low slapstick and literate dialogue comedy. Go to Full Review Bosley Crowther New York Times 03/25/2006
4/5
It is too bad that Preston Sturges is not compelled by law to turn out at least one movie -- maybe two -- a year. For nobody makes films as he does. Go to Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills 02/01/2023
A flop for the genius writer-director Preston Sturges, but also his last great movie. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 02/14/2022
4/4
In the last great film by Preston Sturges, the writer-director's signature wit and slapstick come together with an hysterical sense of the macabre, forming a comedy far ahead of its time. Go to Full Review Christopher Kane Modern Screen 06/29/2021

Stephen M @Millerste Feb 22 Overrated movie that alternates between film noir and slapstick comedy. The movie is tedious. Linda Darnell is boring--not her fault. And Rex Harrison overacts. But the main problem is the banal plot and the absurd dream sequences. Even the cameo roles--Irish detective, Jewish tailor--are overdone. This is the worst Preston Sturges movie. Why Pauline Kael praised it to the skies is beyond me. See more W. W. W @Witt2k9 Sep 13 Dreadful Harrison and Dick Wagner deserves each other. Nothing comedic about it. See more Alec B @Alec97 01/10/2024 Highly innovative for its time but I'm more taken in by Sturges' ability to be so nakedly honest while never forgetting to funny. See more 03/29/2021 Highly innovative for its time but I'm more taken in by Sturges' ability to be so nakedly honest while never forgetting to funny. See more Leaburn O @RT35452347 01/28/2021 It was two thirds through and aside from the ridiculous English hammy voice it was going so well. Then weirdly they threw in this slapstick comedy sketch that wasn't funny and ended the film in sop when it screamed out for a twist. Eurgh so disappointing after a hood set up.
