I saw this movie some years ago on PBS; don’t last longer than 85 minutes but it makes the viewing worthwhile and plus, I didn’t know that Preston Sturges directed this film; Anyhow, you have this young fellow(Dick Powell), who is played a joke on, and wins this contest of $10,000; Mind you, this is 1940, the Depression, and though the Depression is coming to a close, that is still a whole lot of money, even today that’s a nice bit of money; So he goes on this shopping spree and buys his whole block Christmas presents; Now just to see how the whole block react upon seeing Dick Powell and his girl come with the presents is worth the watch; Kinda makes you wish you would do it too. Anyhow, in time, it comes to his attention that a prank was played but don’t worry because in the end, the joke is DEFINITELY on them; a heck of a gem of a film. One of the best.
