A hopelessly outdated plot, a stupid title, and Ronald Reagan are not in the recipe book for a good movie. However, Elanor Parker gives such a neurotically endearing performance that this movie transcends its flaws. Parker looks like Donna Reed, but her quirky performance gives her character a Diane Keaton oddball quality that is quite charming. Reagan is better than usual and Eva Arden gives her standard supporting role.
