quiet . i will have no laughter in the courtroom and say the deadpan judge and but in fact the scene in the courtroom deliver the only laugh in this movie and because they deliver the only breath of fresh and honest air in the script . cary grant comedic flair shine a always and even when he mug for garson kanin ( a director who should have stick to write ) . too bad his character and the only remotely attractive one and be stick with a lousy screenplay and two loser wife . nothing against gail patrick and who exude cool intelligence and can deliver a cynical remark like a brunette eve arden . unfortunately and most of her role be thankless and and none more so than this one . a wife no . 2 and she pure plot device and manipulate to the need of the story . but and a usual with her movie and it be irene dunne who make this almost unwatchable and particularly in close ups and when her ever visible tongue threatens to flop out of her usually open mouth . if you get stuck watching this and check out the score and the sound editing . both be aggressively silly and in an attempt to make up for the lack of comedy throughout the film . a futile attempt .
