It is never very close-knit, but provides a number of comic situations that are good for guffaws.

The flimsiness of the film's foundations and the disorder of its episodes provoke the inevitable impression that it all fell together en route.
March 25, 2006 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review… -
Howard Hawks's darkest comedy (1949) -- a loosely constructed, episodic film that traces the progressive humiliations suffered by Free French army captain Cary Grant.

There's a slowness to the pacing and the jokes that fail to fit the screwball nature of the couple's chaotic circumstances.

Sep 05, 2010This is one of my favourite Cary Grant movies, Ann Sheridan movies, and movies of the year 1949. It is so hilarious and perfect for a military romance movie. A must see for Grant fans.Aj V Super Reviewer

Dec 09, 2008One of the more contrived Grant films, Cary is perfect as the broad shouldered, debonair, confused as ever bride to his officer wife. A dose of the unfamiliar makes it ever the more believable.Spencer S Super Reviewer

Jun 29, 2008funny film directed by the more than able howard hawks, starring cary grant and ann sheridan who both put in strong performances with their quick-witted remarks. nothing special but it has sheer entertainment value. ideal for staving off boredom. seeing cary grant dress up in drag was fucking hilariousSanity Assassin !
