I want nympho Barbara Stanwyck

As a neuro comedy (screwball comedy), from the perspective of the script, it is almost more interesting than the originator of neuro comedy, "One Night Romance", and Capra is still very good at it. This movie sometimes seems too artificial, especially Henry Fonda. At first glance, he pretended to be stupid, and I couldn't stand him anymore.

But Barbara Stanwyck's role in it is too lovable, and the appearance is much better than in Double Indemnity, I found her very attractive. The other speaking voice is full of cleverness. It's a pity that the clothes inside don't match her figure.

Excerpts from the heroine's subtle lines:
I need him like an ax needs a turkey

you don't know very much about girls. The best ones aren't as good as you think they are and the bad ones aren't as bad. Not nearly as bad.
