Cons: This film is pure gold. There is no negative comment .possible..

One of the great hidden-treasure movies, though not so hidden as people keep discovering it and re-discovering it.Cary Grant's most subtle, elegant and heart-felt performance.It isn't sentimental,or corny, and it vibrates with fervent feeling and charm and often genuine wit. Loretta Young and David Niven help create the spirit of the film, along with a particularly beautiful musical score. Screen play, delightful and surprising, is by 4-time Pulitzer prize winner Robert E. Sherwood. And the supporting people are aces, having the chance of their lives.
