The most cursory glance at the CVs of the two leads will reveal sound projects both before and after this turkey - Rogers had just shot Storm Warning at Warners and would go on to Monkey Business with Cary Grant at Fox whilst Carson would land a plum supporting role in the best (Judy Garland) version of A Star Is Born three years later. So one can only guess at the desperation/insecurity both must have felt to get involved in this drek. Inconsistencies? Let me count the ways. We're asked to believe that Carson, a major cowboy star who has his own plane, complete with pilot, can't come up with sixty K to get a gangster off his back, that Ginger Rogers, a successful attorney, shares a small apartment with Joan Davis, that savvy, street-smart attorney Rogers would fall for and marry Carson on the strength of one 'business' meeting at his home and one evening together in Vegas. In fact Rogers and Carson made five films together at RKO and this one, at Universal, is the only time he ever wound up with her. This is definitely one to avoid.
