reviews were excellent. The New York Times said he was 'Superb, funny
while being most officious, and withering while saying the drollest things.'
Hollywood took notice as the film made money. Robinson was back on top,
back in the minds of the community as a reigning character actor. He
could walk with his head held high."

"Easy
going comedy without much point but with various amusing facets artfully
deployed."
