While in many ways an average romantic comedy of the era, this film rises above during one particular scene. Colbert, as would-be entertainer Marilyn David, is supposed to sing and dance in a nightclub debut. Screenwriter Claude Binyon turns it into an opportunity for farce, as the untalented David stumbles her way through a song-and-dance number that becomes part clever improv, part stand-up, and she discovers a talent for making audiences laugh with her. Seek out this film just for the nightclub scene.
