Thanks for the link. I will watch any film teaming Jean Arthur and Preston Sturges.

The Preston Sturges script is very good but not great. The direction by Mitchell Leisen is too frenetic, and adversely affects every performance except one. Any film starring Jean Arthur is worth watching. She was a superb actress.
