Miraculously mad masterpiece. Read full review

Michael Wilmington

One of the great, outrageously irreverent American movie comedies. [27 Sep 2005, p.C3]

Hal Hinson

The nearest thing to pandemonium ever seen on film and every minute of it is sublime. [27 Aug 1987, p.D7]

IndieWire Jessica Kiang

One of the most demented studio comedies of the 1940s. Read full review

Bosley Crowther

Mr. Sturges as author and director, is thoroughly up to his stinging style in this film. Situations spark, dialogue crackles and his camera works like a playful Peeping Tom. And from all of the actors he gets performances that make them look like inspired comedians. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

Great verbal gags and non-sequiturs, fast-paced action, and a thorough irreverence for all things deemed respectable - politicians, policemen and magistrates included - make it a lasting delight, not least when the lady finally gives birth...to sextuplets. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

Done in the satirical Sturges vein, and directed with that same touch, the story makes much of characterization and somewhat wacky comedy, plus some slapstick, with excellent photography figuring throughout. Read full review
