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.

A comedy that isn't funny., 24 October 2000
1/10
Author: J. Patrick Sullivan (sullivpj@hotmail.com) from Los Angeles, California, USA

This is probably James Stewart's worst film. His co-star is Joan Fontaine, who never was adept at doing light comedy, she and Stewart have no chemistry together whatsoever. They get no help by the pale script and the pacing of the film is very slow. A dud.
