Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe stack of baby photos which they sort through includes one used in Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942) eight years earlier.
- GoofsAlmost an hour in, as Zachary Scott is convincing Betsy Drake to present Sam's campaign to Cyrus Baxter, he leads her out of the office door, saying, "Now remember, Patsy, the code of the firm..." As Sam's office door closes, at the top of the door can be seen the very bright studio lights that were used to light the scene before."
- Quotes
Barry Holmes: [after sitting down with Patsy and Morley for lunch, gives his order to the waiter] *Just* a cup of coffee, please.
Patsy Douglas: Really, Mr. Holmes, a hard-working executive like you should have a hot lunch.
Barry Holmes: [looks to the waiter] Very well, just scramble me a couple of Benzedrine tablets.
[the waiter and Morley chuckle]

Featured review
Badly written and miscast
A crazy woman who talks to a doll has an accidental meeting with the owner of the company she works for on the subway. Multiple misunderstanding ensue since he thinks the doll she is carrying on the subway is actually a baby named after him.
The script not gelling is one thing. Miscasting dramatic actors in a comedy is the second mistake. Dennis Morgan and Zachary Scott have no flair for comedy. Betsy Drake had no flair for anything.
The only one holding it all together - almost - is the great Edmund Glenn.
I think this was a rushed production for the purpose of finishing off Zachary Scott and Dennis Morgan's studio contracts and to give a job to Cary Grant's new wife.
