Nutshell
Shame on you Warner Brothers, and while we're at it, shame on Criterion. Where is the Blu-ray???!!!
This excellent film, Hitchcock's one and only straight romantic comedy, has its detractors. Why, because there
are no murders? No white-knuckle suspense sequences? Well, I'm sorry but they are full of crap. Honestly, did
Hitchcock ever slack off on anything he did? This film satisfies on many levels, and is at the very least a funny,
well-crafted and welcome addition to the genre. Hitchcock made this film in order to work with the highly talented
(and drop dead gorgeous) Carole Lombard, who gives her usual great performance here. His weakness for
beautiful blondes is legendary. Robert Montgomery is also very good here. Any Hitchcock enthusiast should
definitely see this film.
