This is only a moderately funny Martin & Lewis debut film, with Marie Wilson easily stealing the show as the lovable ditzy dame and roommate of Diana Lynn, who might easily have doubled for Vera Miles.
Martin had not yet mastered his vocal style, while Lewis is more annoying than funny. As a side note, Ian Wolfe, who played the uncredited role of the marriage pastor at film's end, also played another uncredited role of Dr. Weyland who declines to give Shelley Winters an abortion in A Place in the Sun. Wolfe is one of the few actors who, though not famous, seem to have an unmistakable recognition factor for some reason.
There are some funny lines that Wilson delivers, such as "We are both women so let us talk man to man" though I can't recall the exact words. But by far one of the funniest lines I've ever heard in a film is "Don't try dragging the river for my body because I hung myself."
I am willing to have a gentleman's bet that the scene where Wilson falls down after following her fiancé out the door was not staged at all but was an accident that was left in the film. Maybe it's included as part of the goofs section in this platform, though I haven't yet checked. However, technically it can't be a goof since clearly the studio saw the scene and decided to leave it in regardless.
One final mention goes to my favorite bit actor, Percy Helton, who plays an unusually dignified role as Irma's employer in this movie, though he's usually cast as a sleazy character in noir movies.
