I love this movie, even more upon rewatch. The comedy here is sometimes broad (Pike's frequent falls) but is more often highly nuanced, almost mumbled, in understated line readings that came alive for me on second viewing. I love the intricate motifs of cards and snakes, and the film moves along briskly and never overstays its welcome. Stanwyck is reliably outstanding, and the two big seduction scenes are unbelievably sexy. It's less manic and more romantic than my other favorite screwball comedies, and it ranks up there as a favorite.
