Delightful screwball comedy
This is a home spun comedy about the life in a boarding house run by Edna May Oliver in which she plays a domestic top-Sargent. Hugh Herbert is a cast standout playing her indolent but good-hearted husband. Herbert's get-rich-quick schemes are the main subject of conflict until his one of his long forgotten invention finally pays off, but there is also a romantic sub-plot involving Herbert and Oliver's daughter Dorothy Lee. La-Cava wrote and directed this "B" movie based on the story by Douglas MacLean. Director Gregory La Cava has made some wonderful movies like "My Man Godfrey" and "Stage Door," but his work in this movie could have been a little more focused. Although this may be a "B" movie, but it is still funny and enjoyable!
