CAST REVIEWS Review by Jennifer (posted on 8-Apr-2005) Without a doubt one of the three funniest movies I have ever seen. Monty Woolley is hysterically funny and so perfect for the role it is uncanny. Darling Mary Wickes is just luminous as the longsuffering Miss Preen. Bette Davis is understated but excellent as the sophisticated secretary who suddenly falls in love with a small-town newspaper man. Ann Sheridan is beautiful and so clever as Sherry's "Blossom Girl." It's an embarrassment of riches with lovable Jimmy Durante and sweet, flappable Billie Burke on top of all that! This movie is an absolute romp with so much packed into two hours that it has to be seen to be believed. ENJOY!
Review by Karen Murphy (posted on 11-Sep-2007) A fabulous film - great plot and always entertaining. Performances are superb and it's fast paced with wonderful characters and really funny moments. Monty Woolley is hilarious as is Jimmy Durante. Bette Davis character is fairly low key but she plays it very well. A really enjoyable movie and one that you will never tire of watching.
