A confection with a message. William Powell is fantastic in the lead role, but the "screwball" elements feel a bit hollow.
Hilarious movie with a message that’s not overtly heavy handed. Excellent writing with themes still relevant today. A must watch classic!
Oh My Goodness, sooo good! The costumes & sets were amazing! Imagine if it were in color. I felt like I entered their world.
Funny, witty and silly. It was just filled with fun.
Absolutely hilarious and the romance is fking adorable. I wish there was a higher rate than "amazing"
Too funny! This one had me cracking up! Very enjoyable viewing; light and goofy, really entertaining.
One of my favorite William Powell movies. It's completely screwball comedy!!
A very pleasant comedy with some great performances. A good example of Hollywood's Golden Age.
It’s entailing, but it’s not as clever or thought-provoking as it thinks it is and it’s predictable as hell.
Classic screwball comedy, warm and witty. You'll enjoy it.
