Never quite reaches the heights of Bringing Up Baby or The Lady Eve, for me, but it's up there. The problem is the jokes don't flow quite as quickly as in some of the great screwballs, perhaps due to the improvisational structure of McCarey's process. That said, when the jokes are on, they're worth the wait.

Her face in every scene just kills me.
