As usual, Preston Sturges has written wonderful lines for a large cast of comic actors and they exultantly deliver them. My favorite is Luis Alberni as Louis Louis, the hotel manager. He is so good opposite the great Jean Arthur that he is practically the co-star.

Anything written by Preston Sturges is absolutely essential, so everyone should seek this one out. The most interesting thing to me is that Sturges later blamed Mitchell Leisen, and the way that he apparently butchered Sturges' scripts, for driving Sturges into directing. I don't see much of anything wrong with Leisen's direction here, but its an interesting historical footnote.
