Very clever comedy where Don Ameche taps Henry Fonda as the nation's biggest failure and lures him to New York where he will have him take his course on being assertive.
Lynn Bari shed her usual image of a cunning, devious woman to play Ameche's secretary and fiancé who ultimately falls for the Fonda character. Fonda gives a good performance as the simple, kind person who believes in relaxation and the simpler things of life.
The shenanigans that are pulled to prevent Fonda from learning about Ameche's relationship with Bari and coaxing him to remain in New York and take the course are well staged.
