    • Goofs
      After the Chinese cook is discovered in the closet, Mike consoles Candy in the bedroom. His words are obviously dubbed when he says "Chinese man". It looks like he may have originally said "Chinaman".

    Perfectly Delightful.....
    From the first moment to the last, this was perfectly delightful!! Holden and Dee really make this one work as the handsome newlyweds that are trying desperately to stay within their meager budget. Watching them, one "almost" yearns for that awkward adjustment period that succeeds marriage. This pairing of stars really works too. They've got tons of chemistry that really helps one believe their story and has you rooting for them to make it work. There are tons of movies out there with this same premise but they often turn into yawners. This one was the exception for me. Their quirky antics kept it fresh and I found myself smiling throughout.
