Hilarious historical gem
26 September 2004
I was captivated from the beginning! I watch old movies looking for how much has either remained the same or changed in our society. Lots to think about in this one! Then, ten minutes in, I realized how charmed I was by the goofy comedy. Very daring for it's time - Betty spends nearly the whole movie pregnant, without anyone ever saying "pregnant"! I was absolutely beguiled by every character, even while they were irritating me! Attitudes towards female/male roles in old movies are always an eye opener.

And pure genius to bring in Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini for a laugh!

I passed up watching NFL football to finish watching this one. And to me, football is religion. So how's that for a recommendation?
