4/10

With such likable stars and supporting cast, surprisingly lame.

This movie, as others have stated, is pretty disappointing given MacMurray, Colbert, Benchley, Kellaway, etc. Not much going on that was funny. Lots of talk about war bonds (that's fine here was a war on). Filmed so dark i thought it was a film noir murder mystery. Gil Lamb was annoying. I guessing the stuff with the dog was 'supposed' to be funny. It wasn't.

As couple of things of note however. DeCamp has a sweet little part. It struck me as funny seeing Tom Powers and MacMurray together in a film right after he and Stanwyck had just murdered him in Double Indemnity!

Overall, for MacMurray and Colbert film-o-philes only.
