{Available on Youtube as of this writing, and a good print too.} I'm amazed I've never heard of this one. I'm also amazed at how often Jean Arthur play so much younger than she actually was and got away with it. The plot is standard charming thirties style rom-com fare. I'd seen hints of Edward Arnold's comedy abilities in one of my Riskin/Capra binges with You Can't Take it With You. I guess it was just bad direction or writing that let him down in Roman Scandals. The only other actors I recognized were Franklin Pangborn playing his usual stuffy character, the woman who played the secretary in Crime Without Passion and the guy who played Uncle Charlie in My Three Sons and a jerk cop in a Charlie Chan movie set in L. A.. The writer's name rang a bell too, Preston Sturgis. This one's a you should definitely see.
