On paper this film has everything to be the best of all screwball comedies. But it required a lot of patience and concentration to sit through....much more convoluted than something like Christmas in July, and in a lot of ways more contrived. Also a lot of gratuitous slapstick..... But certainly a showcase for the supporting actors Demarest, Pallette, Greig, and Coburn; and a wonderful role for Barbara Stanwyck. The world seem backwards in a cosmetics mirror is an interesting place, but a very complex one.
