After Precious we turned to a Preston Sturges, in which a conductor suspects his wife of having an affair, but despite some of his customary quick jokes it isn't his best, and a mixed bag (the fantasies aren't funny, except for the moment where Rex's laughter in dream sequence erupts into real life) though there are some most enjoyable sound effects, such as those involving a voice recorder (preceded by a largely unfunny slapstick sequence). There's also too much classical background music which ultimately becomes deadening.
Rex Harrison, Linda Darnell, Rudy Vallee, Lionel Stander and other familiar faces are photographed by Victor Milner.
