Utterly delightful bit of nonsense with Clifton Webb giving a gem of a performance that utilizes his abilities perfectly.

Clifton Webb's outstanding performance made him a household name at the time. Skillfully made, funny and very entertaining, good support, especially from Richard Haydn. Maureen O'Hara is great, Robert Young is bland. Well written.
