I absolutely adore this film. Bellamy, Dunne, and Grant are hilarious. I love Irene Dunne. At every chance, I have to let the world know that she is THE MOST UNDERRATED actress ever. In this film she was coquettish and funny. I don't think she was very good-looking but she had wit and sex appeal as well as singing talent.
I think the film holds up today. It's much more innocent than today's films but Irene Dunne tried to be as naughty as she could without breaking the Hays Code.
