Claudette Colbert is much more at home in this freewheeling comedy-thriller than in The Phantom President. Splendidly directed by Mitchell Leisen, the film treads a delicate path between love, humour and war with considerable success. Charles Brackett and Billy Wilder sprinkle some sparkling lines in their script, several of them going to Walter Abel as the heroine's editor, who has his celebrated speech about not being happy at all.
