Funny overlooked Golden Age comedy written by Norman Krasna - hilarious scene in police station (with Edward McNamara, also a cop in Arsenic and Old Lace, and Regis Toomey). Great cast. Sam Wood a talented director, e.g. cramming the frame in beach scene (the same trick from his 1935 Night at the Opera), interesting compositions and angles throughout.
Difficult now to be certain, but it appears that the Romanée-Conti 1903 which nobody likes was from "a messed up wine year of unsatisfactory quality by the cold weather. The wines were watery and short also within young years. No wine has survived well from this weak volume today and one therefore hardly finds drinkable copies." (Source: european-fine-wine.com.)
Shot by Harry Stradling.
Not to be confused with The Devil in Miss Jones, which is another matter all together!
