- cute :0)
This was a very cute movie, pretty funny too. I just watched it this morning and it put me in a good mood. I'm a sucker for old movies and this one his the spot. Not the best movie ever or anything like that but a good one for colections.

Rating: - This disc is NOT in color
The movie is good but the format listed is false. This is a black & white version. I do not believe that it has been out in color on DVD. Amazon has B&W only.

- anull & void
What a waste of a powerhouse cast! Dated, unfunny & plodding--for Monroe completists only.

- Why no deleted sequence?
This is a funny movie, especially the Fred Allen and Ginger Rogers section, with a great cast but why didn't Fox include the deleted sequence with Walter Brennan and Hope Emerson as an extra?It's included on the Hidden Hollywood Fox DVD and it's been shown on AMC.It should've been included on this disc.
