3) Yeah, that’s Sturges at his best. One thing that’s always been disappointing about him as a director, though, is how poorly he staged physical comedy, pratfalls and the like. Although the seduction scene is staged wonderfully.

[2] The scene when she checks out all the babes trying to pick him up in the beginning is magical.

God, I love Barbara.

That scene is one of the most erotic in all of cinema.

Infinitely more so than stupid fucking what’s her name, Sharon Stone, spreading her legs.

Barbara’s my girl.

She’s the best and she’s a local girl!

Henry Fonda’s no slouch, himself.

Simply an awesome film (though, like many such Hollywood classics, it drags a bit towards the end but still, at its best, it’s scintillating).
