4/10
never takes off
9 September 2023
I tuned in to this on TCM for Loretta Young and Brian Aherne. I'd never seen Aherne do comedy. After seeing this flick, I have to say that maybe he can play comedy but this particular vehicle is not the one to show off whatever comic talents he had. After a promising start the movie quickly gets bogged down in unnecessarily confusing plot complications. The musical score is a bit ham-handed in its handling of comic situations, and the script, as has been mentioned elsewhere here, lacks the comic zing of any number of other contemporaneous comedy mysteries. To me the movie had no satisfactory resolution, but just sort of petered out. Not recommended.
