Tôi cũng thấy những gì những người đi trước tôi đã thấy ở Bette Davis thời trẻ. Cô ấy thật tuyệt vời trong bộ phim hài chính trị gần như điên rồ này, với ngôi sao chính là Warren Williams trong vai một nhà hoạt động chính trị luôn nợ tiền trợ cấp nuôi con. Vivienne Osborne đóng vai người vợ cũ của anh ta rất xuất sắc, và tôi thấy mình luôn ủng hộ cô ấy. Nhân vật của Williams không hề đáng đồng cảm, và anh ta cũng không phải là một đối thủ xứng tầm.
I do see what my forebears saw in the youthful Bette Davis. She's splendid throughout this almost-madcap political comedy which actually stars Warren Williams as the political operative constantly behind on his alimony. Vivienne Osborne is brilliant as his ex, and I found myself rooting for her throughout. The Williams character is not at all sympathetic, and he's not even a decent op.<br /><br />Guy Kibbee is one of the best at what he does. As a candidate dragged out of his sleep at a political convention and nominated to be governor in order to prevent a rival candidate from being nominated, so this whole mess is borne of internecine political warfare in a party called the "Progressive Party." If you're of a political mind, you will probably see a party other than the one with which you are affiliated reflected in the fictional "Progressive Party" of Williams and Kibbee. I could draw exact parallels, but we're not here for that.<br /><br />This is a good movie for those of us who love these old comedies. If you've ever watched any of the old Wheeler & Woolsey titles (HALF SHOT AT SUNRISE, THE RAINMAKERS), you'll find Frank McHugh, as Williams's right arm, looking and behaving a lot like Bert Wheeler. He had me fooled.<br /><br />Yes, both my wife and I recommend this one.
