Preston Sturges continues to show that screwball comedies are his forte and that he is capable of creating excellent characters. Here, it is beautifully manifested and the supporting roles are hilariously entertaining. Especially Toto is unforgettable. However, the film also captivates with its story, which may seem simple at first glance, but the plot unfolds beautifully, bringing us back to the beginning once again.

This is a pleasant remarriage screwball. The charming Claudette Colbert carries the whole story on her own spicy shoulders. There are a thousand popular "I am someone else" situations (popular in their time). Of the male ensemble, I have to single out the sexy Rudy Vallée, who was still singing in Fleischers with Betty Boop in the early 1930s. I have to also praise the emigrant Sigi Arno, who for a change rampaged in German cinema during Weimar times (often alongside Anny Ondra) and eventually saved himself in the role of funny foreigners who, although not understood, are also not racially abused.
