“Mae West (Diamond Lil) sure dishes cut plenty of that risque business in this one (that's putting it delicately, but in spite of that, or on account of it, depending on yourself, it is downright funny).” –

99%
“The cast comes to life with an equally amusing vehemence, Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell and Ralph Bellamy behaving like three people imitating the Marx brothers, and doing a swell job of it, too.” –
