Has a rather unusual take on marriage and divorce for its time. A curious mix of cynicism and frivolity performed in a charmingly playful register. Grant is his usual reliable self, delivering the mostly well written dialogue with panache and verve, and Banks' art deco sets add a touch of class. There isn't much to criticise here, and it ends on an unexpectedly strong note, but you really have to be a fan of the genre to understand its place in the film canon.

As always, a typical screwball comedy rushes through lest you say, "Wait. Why would....?" The antics here are generally fitting, even though it's amazing two people about to divorce keep running into each other. I laughed throughout, but now it's starting to become forgotten -- maybe it's because I liked the actors, but I never really liked the characters they portrayed.

A little daring for the Code era, and not the most insufferable of its line of screwball comedies, but still droningly talky and completely and utterly unfunny.

What a lifeless film. Maybe it's because the whole concept has been done so many times since, maybe it's the script, but this comedy rarely comes alive. The performances don't shine and the jokes fall flat. From the first scene to the last, it's very hard to care whether the bickering couple divorce or get back together.

It starts off weak but it continuously builds on its strengths to provide some solid laughs and sophisticated pathos throughout the middle and a surprisingly sexy denouement at the end. On another note, this film features some of the best costuming I've ever seen in a B&W film, with almost all of Dunne's outfits being absolutely stunning to watch in motion. Solid performances throughout, overall a well-aged screwball comedy.
