A great surprise
by Sarah-602001-02-09
7/10

"I wasn't expecting much from this film - just something to pass a rainy Sunday. What a wonderful surprise to find myself watching a screwball comedy about as good as Cary Grant or Irene Dunne could have hoped to make in the 1930's. Give it a chance - you might love it like I did...."

💡 Did You Know?

Bushrod Gentry mentions going to the Northwest Territories several times. This would place the time of the film somewhere between 1787 and 1803. It encompassed and area that would eventually become the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota. In the scenes regarding Cadmus getting spectacles, George Washington is spoken of as if he is still alive, so that would narrow the date ranger further to 1787 and 1799.
