I love barbra streisand to death, but what are you doing in this film barbra? Of course you look more gorgeous than ever and your character fits you to a tee, but some logic is needed to get the ball rolling.... Full review

Peter Bogdonavich's sendup of wacky screwball comdedies of the 30's is perfectly realized here, AND he struck comic gold with the hilarious pairing of Streisand/O'Neal. Their chemistry is excellent, and Miss Streisand has never looked lovlier with her long blond mane... Full review

The pace of the film is quicker than a fast thing in a hurry but Bogdanovich balances out the screwball antics with some nicely understated character comedy: the hotel manager, and the judge in the final reel for example.
