Very comical film where a person's identity leads to all sorts of mayhem, including a near rivalry between two sisters, and the bad guys after the same wrong man.
Along with the mayhem, came the Oscar winning song "Baby, It's Cold Outside," sang with such zest by Esther Williams and Ricardo Montalban, at at the same time, Betty Garrett and Red Skelton. It was really tunefully done. This song, in winning the Oscar, beat out "My Foolish Heart," from the 1949 tearjerker with same name with Susan Hayward and Dana Andrews. That song winning must have been some sort of academy upset, by that was not unusual in the best song category.
You can't imagine how long the confusion regarding Montalban's identity will go on. It provides for a funny premise, and Red Skelton riding a horse and playing polo is also quite hilarious.
Great comic line in the film: "Love has ruined more businesses than the Sherman-Anti Trust Act! ...To think, the latter was in 1890.
