This one is just a hoot. Ronald Colman is always a treasure, and Vincent Price had me howling in a couple of places. Almost a G-rated version of Harvey Korman's "Hedley Lamarr" from Blazing Saddles. The romantic comedy elements later in the film are also nicely done. Very funny movie. 7.5/10

BTW, the poster "looped" the film, probably to thwart the filters. The movie runs about 1:40:00, but starts over after that. Just FYI.

Price is fantastic in this film and Linkletter does a good turn as a smuck turning into a nice guy.

Thanks for the link!

Great movie. Vincent Price is the consummate professional and Celeste Holm is a knockout.
