Trivia:
On 21 July 2004, David Packard announced to the audience at the Stanford theater in Palo Alto, California, that his foundation will be issuing this film on DVD, with a musical score compiled and performed by Dennis James, recorded using the Stanford's Mighty Wurlitzer organ. This will be the first time this film has ever been issued on DVD or video, and the first film to be issued, in a non-theatrical format, by the Stanford Theater Foundation. moreFAQ

Even this early in his career, Capra was quite accomplished with his camera-work and his timing. This is a thin story -- and quite predictable at times -- but he gets very good performances out of his cast and has some rather intricate camera moves that involve the viewer intimately. The first part looks like a Cinderella story, though anyone with brains can see that the bottom will fall out of that -- the rich 'prince' will lose his fortune.
Nonetheless, because of his good cast and fast pace, it's easy to get caught up in the clichés. Then the movie does become more original, as the married couple have to find a way to make a living. The ending is very predictable but satisfying. I also want to compliment the title-writing: very witty and fun.
