I almost gave up on this film after the first 15 minutes...talk, talk, talk...too much dialog that was not that interesting. I'm glad I stuck with it, because it developed into a pretty decent comedy.
It's sort of "The Bachelor And The Bobby Soxer" X 2, although that is not the main gist of the movie...which is widowed town mayor (Irene Dunne) falling in love with suave sculptor (Charles Boyer), which simply won't work in that small town...or will it.
Dunne is quite good with comedy, and demonstrates that here. Boyer does nicely, too...in fact considering that I am not a fan of his, I rather enjoyed him here. The real hoot of the picture is that scene stealer -- Charles Coburn! The other actors do their jobs, and this is quite a watchable film after the first little bit. While not one of Dunne's best films, it is worth watching...at least once...though it may not end up on your DVD shelf.
