Bing Crosby shows his greatest strength in this film, which is clearly singing. While the film is a comedy, it's not that funny overall, and essentially, W. C. Fields is the one responsible for the amusing moments. x Otherwise, the film is just a classic romance that has to be resolved at the very end, even though it's pretty clear how it is going to end.
