I love movies from the 40's, enjoy Ginger Rogers in both musical and straight roles (Kitty Foyle, Bachelor Mother), and romantic comedies are a favorite way to relax in the evening. This movie was bad. I am working through the AFI list, and had looked forward to this light hearted comedy.
The acting was fine, as each character was played perfectly, right down to the irritating ice cream man and little sister. But there was barely enough plot to fill out a 30 minute TV episode. The premise was OK, but it took me 3 fidgety nights to just sit through it. And what were surely attempts at zany plot twists in the 40's seemed to be just unending repetition. This is definitely not "bringing up baby" or even in the same league.
Sorry.
