I echo the attitude of the majority of reviewers on this site...moderately amusing. The screenplay has some good zingers, mostly at the expense of the younger but stuffier in laws, but at one point early on Swanson's character says she can't do comedy and then goes on to prove it. Menjou, as usual, is a bit of a bore ,while Desi proves once again that, right around the time this film was made, he lucked into the most fortuitous of unions. Give it a C plus.
