Played strictly for laughs, belly type, it's an audience winner from way back in the balcony. What can you lose?

Rachel Wagner

It's nothing that's going to change your life or anything but if you want a pleasant and romantic comedy that has some good laughs and some good chemistry it's a... really entertaining little Christmas movie.

FULL REVIEW

Combustible Celluloid

Jeffrey M. Anderson

Barbara Stanwyck uses every acting muscle in her body to redeem this silly holiday romance.

If this mildly amusing screwball comedy about mistaken identity has a conservative slant of glorifying housewives it's due to the zeitgeist: It was made in 1945, at the end of WWII, when men were coming home and women sent back to the kitchen.
