Newsweek wrote - "Cary Grant again turns in a smooth performance of the type that has made him one of Hollywood's most-sought-after leading men.
It is more to the point that Katharine Hepburn gives one of her most successful characterizations of her film career."
Cary Grant's acrobatics seemed to have rubbed off on Katharine Hepburn.
They were both known for doing their own stunts. Hepburn thought her double didn't have the correct deportment.
With Jean Dixon, Katharine Hepburn, Lew Ayres and Edward Everett Horton.
