”...in the Czerny family there was a streak of, shall we say, eccentricity…Why else should his grandfather have sent me as an engagement present one rollerskate covered with Thousand Island dressing?”

A great example of the old saying “they don’t make them like this anymore.” This is a wonderful screwball comedy from 1939 with Claudette Colbert, Don Ameche, John Barrymore, and Mary Astor. The script was co-written by Billy Wilder and has several lines in it that had me laughing out loud. The film glides along seemingly effortlessly, bolstered by the terrific cast and script. A funny and charming gem. Highly recommended.
