just an okay "screwball comedy"

Warning: Spoilers
While I did like this film, I will quickly admit that it is a very silly and illogical movie--with a very convoluted plot. Plus, on top of everything, the pairing of Jimmy Stewart and Claudette Colbert just didn't seem very plausible--particularly towards the end when they become romantically linked. I just couldn't see the chemistry. Now, if you ignore all that and just turn off your brain, it's a decent film and worth seeing if you are an old movie buff. However, as far as "screwball comedies" go, this is pretty weak stuff and you are better off with a variety of other films such as BRINGING UP BABY, MY FAVORITE WIFE or ARSENIC AND OLD LACE. Hmmm,...all these are Cary Grant flicks. Well, I still love Jimmy Stewart films but don't think this was his best genre.
