Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
One of the finest screwball comedies ever.

Though it's almost impossible, try to sit back sometime and enjoy this 1938 Howard Hawks masterpiece not only for its gags, but for the grace of its construction, the assurance of its style, and the richness of its themes.

There is little rhyme or reason to most of the action, but it's all highly palatable.

A perfect example of why directors (and even us brilliant professional critics) can often be completely in the dark about what works.

The enduring fascination of this 1938 screwball comedy is due to much more than its uproarious gags.
