Exceptional American comedy from the 1940s. Superb acting, script, direction. Dunne is a dream. Boyer is brilliant. Coburn is a charm. Must-see film just to know what movies were like before most of us were born. Plot is clever and contrived, but it
resonates as human and plausible nonetheless. I. laughed happily throughout. There are lots of obvious jokes but they're delivered with pointed perfection and impeccable timing. I'm going to look up other films written by the same scriptwriter(s), so I can see other of his/her/their films. I'll also check out more films by director Vidor who was a big star in the Hollywood Hey Day.
