Top CriticWilders and Brackett's screenplay has some laughs, and Lubitsch knows how to get the most out of the least, but this movie was a mistake to make in the first place.
08/14/07
Top CriticA sporadically funny, somewhat contrived comedy.
06/24/06
Top CriticAlthough it's not a bad comedy by our current depressed standards, it has the dickens of a time trying to pass off Gary Cooper as a multi-marrying millionaire.
03/25/06
Top CriticFluffy, but fun and worth watching for the great Horton as Colbert's financially embarrassed father.
05/24/03
Top CriticErnst Lubitsch seems to be resting on his cliches in this atypically inelegant 1938 comedy.
