A father and daughter card shark team (Charles Cobern and Barbara Stanwick) try to cheat a rich heir to a brewing family's fortune (Henry Fonda) on a ship. Stanwick ends up falling in love with Fonda. What ensues is a series of madcap situations involving the two, and Fonda ends up marrying Stanwick twice (don't ask). William Demarest plays Fonda's unwanted bodygurad. A Preston Sturges classic from the thirties, where this type of fantasy movies lifted Depression era spirits.
Follow Ups:
One of the best screwball comedy of that period.
Of its three acts I found the first the strongest and the third the weakest.
Absolutely! A bit boring and without clear direction.
But the interaction on the ship with the three of them is just gorgeous. It sparkle like champagne and Lubitsch says " hello ".
This is s Preston Sturges film.
I know I know but it has the wit!
Ernst Lubitsch is my prefered director for this kind of films.
Well then, Sturges is a close second, no?
No, his work is quite uneven. " Sullivanīs Travel " is also one I really like. He was a very colourfull person.
But no Lubitsch.
