Not remotely a defense of junk, but it does respect comedy as a force for escapism.

A delicious tragi-comedy set during the Great Depression.

A dubious proposition, but in Sturges's hands a charming one, filled out by his unparalleled sense of eccentric character.

Sturges' dialog is trenchant, has drive, possesses crispness and gets the laughs where that is desired.

Hard-nosed, farcical, tender, critical, satirical, elitist and populist all at once.
