Average viewer score of 7.0/10 from 37 ratings.
Being a huge fan of both James Cagney and Bette Davis, I thoroughly enjoyed this screwball comedy, which proved their only pairing. Excellent supporting cast, including such legends as Eugene Pallette and Jack Carson, help overcome the limitations of the script and make an enjoyable film.
