Forgotten but Hilarious Screwball Comedy, 1 July 2005
9/10
Author: bestactor from USA

The fact that almost nobody has heard of or seen this movie doesn't diminish it's delightful comedy. Warner Brothers was hardly known for producing strong comedies, much less those starring Bette Davis, Olivia de Havilland and Leslie Howard. After watching the fun Davis and Howard seem to be having, one wishes there were more of their comic performances to enjoy on film. De Havilland did make some other wonderful comedies at Warners (Strawberry Blonde, Male Animal) Passage of time continues to confirm her standing as probably the least celebrated best actress in Hollywood. She never achieved the "star status" of several lesser actresses. (You can make your own personal list.) Yet she continued to deliver outstanding, intelligent performances, displaying a tremendous range of ability. Check out "Light in the Piazza."

The supporting cast is also full of expert performances. Eric Blore's bird impersonations is hysterical!
