Leo McCarey must have been a great, fun guy to know. His anarchic, improvisational sense of humour comes across brilliantly in this lovely, joyful movie.
Despite their apparent concerns about McCarey's unstructured style of film making, Carey Grant and Irene Dunne come across as the perfect, imperfect couple and the film really works.
Although considered by some as the ultimate screwball comedy, whilst I found this very enjoyable, I can't say I found it super funny. Columbia's Harry Cohen however had all bases covered comedy wise by also having Frank Capra in his stable as well. Comedy is a very personal thing, personality, I think Capra had the edge over McCarey but if you're a Capra fan you should still enjoy this.
