Quotes:
Dr. Blucher: It's perfect natural for a girl that have doubts before getting married. In your case certainly it isn't surprising, after all you've been engaged six times.
Ralph Tutwiler: [interrupting] Officially, if you want the unofficially total you'll need an adding machine.

Decent little comedy, 31 May 2003
Author: Bob F. from Ky.

Well, this wasn't "It Happened One Night" but, the plot line was similar. Rich girl (Joan Fontaine) secretly hops aboard a transport plane to escape a loveless marriage. Jimmy Stewart, the pilot, finds her and is annoyed to have a pretty girl hiding on board. In Hollywood guys always get mad finding a pretty stowaway, yeah, right. Anyhow, after a plane crash and lots of hanging around, nature takes over ... and you know... Actually, I enjoyed it. A little escapist comedy, that managed to entertain. Eddie Albert is good too, as Stewart's side-kick. I'd rank it a respectable 6 1/2. Also, Fontaine is as always, very feminine.
