oddly enough and it fred macmurray who play the more screwy part in this screwball comedy . carole lombard show a fine performance combine light moment with and undercurrent of drama and seriousness . a usual and fred macmurray remain a mystery to me . the camera be no fan of his and he not that attractive and and he doesn not have the style and panache to pull off this very cary grant like role . ralph bellamy be excellent a the kind friend come back to life through his relationship with lombard character . one can only wonder why her character wouldn not want his gentle and reassure love instead of the almost certain doom of macmurray ineptness . but that hollywood . the picture almost work but miss the mark and primarily due to macmurray performance . it would have be lovely to see grant or even clark gable in his role . lombard and bellamy be largely believable and likable while macmurray be stiff and make you want to keep him at arm length .
