Good start, but then it gets ruined

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

A good pleasant and entertaining Universal studios product. Typical of the 30's and 40's films from the famous Hollywood firm, you'll find any surprise in this tepid and flat programmer. A sort of comedy, adventure flick which you'll probably forget just after watching it. The plot line has already been said above, by our good friend Long Horn, who has picked it from a library dictionary...One among a billion other ones. I don't know the director, never heard of him before. But a rare item, that deserves to be discovered by old B Hollywood stuff diggers.I just watched it for principle. Period.
