Kanin has left the characters' reaction shots too long, giving a slightly sludgy feel to fantastic (unbelievable) Hollywood fable in which basic baby practicalities are somewhat ignored, as Ginger Rogers and David Niven spar over identity of baby - whose birthright even then was surely easily proven - whilst kindly grandfather Charles Coburn gets sentimental over his cigar.
Note Rogers usual cameraman Robert de Graesse, Robert Wise an an editor, Roy Webb music. Norman Krasna wrote it. It's quite funny and brisk (when not sludgy).
