A surprisingly good movie and surprisingly relevant! Expectations about relationships, women not feeling appreciated by their partners (or desired partners), consent, trust, misunderstandings about romantic interests, expectations regarding women's happiness... it all seemed downright timely for a 1941 film. The one liners are hilarious and delivered by pros. Of course Rosalind Russell is going to be good, no surprise - but Kay Francis is JUST AS GOOD! I have never really liked her - but in this, she's got great timing and she fits the part perfectly. She sparkles! Oh how I wish she'd made more comedies! It's the women who shine in this film, though Don Ameche and Van Heflin are terrific too (and crazy handsome).
