A relatively formulaic (though beautifully produced) bedroom comedy...

Derek Adams, Time Out
Fresh

The direction of Garson Kanin is spotty, and there is evidence of faults in editing -- but who cares?

Bosley Crowther, New York Times
Rotten

While it's pleasant enough, the freshness is definitely off the bloom.

Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Fresh

Ninety minutes of delightfully irrational comedy.
