The over-the-top-ness, the tongue-in-cheek, the insanity, the nice old ladies, THE Cary Grant. Reasons this is one of my favorite films. Must be 15 years since I saw it last, but it's still the non-stop bundle of madness I first fell in love with long before I became a classic movie buff.

Very funny and wonderfully shot. Whoever wrote it must have had a field day with the Teddy character. Though it's all good fun, this film tires you out nearing the end, because of all the hysterical drama that's going on. I liked all the acting performances but Peter Lorre's does it for me. Even when in the back of the scene his acting is bringing the film to life

Pretty good movie. It comes with the inherent contrivances that nearly all movies based on plays have but the acting and pacing help guide it through. It's screwballness can border on being a bit too over the top but never often enough to turn me against the film.
