I was looking forward to this movie..... Since, I heard all the praise on this site..... Needless to say, I was disappointed, and I think it was because I had expectation in Bette Davis's acting, and even though this is the first comedy, I've seen her in...... I thought, she could pull it off...... Throughout the movie, Bette acts as though she was in a drama, instead of a comedy..... She says her lines, in absolute witless, and charmless style...... Instead, in a serious, grouchy kind of manner...... (which is her usual style) Overall, Bette's acting was too serious, and her face was hardened most of the time...... She could've eased up a lot...... I have heard comments, that say neither Bette Davis, or Joan Crawford could do comedy...... Believe me, Joan Crawford apparently, has more comedic talent than Bette Davis...... Joan may not be the best comedy actress, but she does displays charm, and wittiness fairly well in her comedic roles....... Robert Montgomery did well, and provided most (all) of the charm, and humor in this movie, next to the stoned Bette Davis...... Their chemistry together was okay...... Though, I must admit, they appear rather odd as a couple...... I think, we'll all prefer that Bette sticks to her dramatic roots......
