This movie is a gem -- one of my favorites.
It shows you everything that the golden age of Hollywood was all about. Good writing, direction, great performances, strong supporting cast, effective production design. A lot of fun; a light comedy classic.
Reminds me a bit of "The Lady Eve," especially in that each has a similar, memorable party scene. A difference, though, is that the Colbert character is more realistically drawn, and the film is a notch less manic (and much more enjoyable for my tastes) than the screwball pace of "The Lady Eve."
