The most remarkable thing about this mad, screwball, censor-defying, racy and hilarious comedy is that it is composed of so many long takes, often with old pro cameraman John Setiz masterfully tracking couple Eddie Bracken and Betty Hutton down the town's streets - indeed sometimes the odd cutaway really interrupts the pacing, which has given the editor little to do.
Though it has a great all-round cast including William Demarest, Porter Hall, Brian Donlevy and Akim Tamiroff, we usually agree that Diana Lynn's older-than-her age sister steals the film.
