Critics' reviews

"Although it's not a bad comedy by our current depressed standards, it has the dickens of a time trying to pass off Gary Cooper as a multi-marrying millionaire"

Frank S. Nugent: The New York Times
"Ernst Lubitsch seems to be resting on his cliches in this atypically inelegant 1938 comedy."

Dave Kehr: Chicago Tribune
"Wilders and Brackett's screenplay has some laughs, and Lubitsch knows how to get the most out of the least, but this movie was a mistake to make in the first place."

TV Guide
"A sporadically funny, somewhat contrived comedy."
