No one wrote and directed screwball comedies as well as Preston Sturges, and if this one doesn’t quite come up to the brilliant level of The Lady Eve, it’s still too good to earn a mere B. It’s not just the absurdity of casting singer Rudy Vallee as the millionaire rival ready to win Claudette Colbert from husband Joel McCrea. It’s the Weenie King, the Ale and Quail Club, Toto, and the most ridiculous happy ending ever filmed.
