A lovely screwball comedy, with an excellent cast and a clever script as you would expect from Charles Brackett and Richard Breen. John Lund shows a deft comedy touch as the stuntman hired to impersonate the dead idiot heir but who falls in love with his supposed sister. Lund and Wanda Hendrix have some very good scenes together while Ilka Chase, Barry Fitzgerald and Monty Woolley give great support. Even Robert Stack gives a good performance. Only director Richard Haydn's small part as the lawyer is totally over the top (played under the name Richard Rancyd - enough said).
It is a shame that this is only available as a very poor quality video. Why do so many good films never get released on video or DVD when so much rubbish does?
