Well worth you're while!!, 20 May 2008
10/10
Author: rapzz from United States

One of the most under rated comedies in all of moviedom. It's riveting throughout. The script is marvelous. Rod Cameron is great. Ella Raines is, well, Ella Raines - gorgeous, sexy, witty, talented, etc., etc., etc!!!! Broderick Crawford, never one of my favorite actors, is excellent in this flick. Too bad he couldn't have maintained this image in his later work...

I love to spring this movie on "sophisticated" visitors to our home and watch their emotions change from "well I'm not to sure of this" to one of "Wow, this a really something!!" There are some interesting plot twists during the movie; and I'll not reveal the hilarious ending. You'll never guess the ending in advance.

A hard to come by movie, especially a good copy, but well worth the effort to find. Fast paced, funny, entertaining!! One of my all time favorites..
