In order to raise money to produce a play (as well as prove that the plot isn't ridiculous), Michael McCreigh makes a bet with his Uncle Carlton that he can begin in Central Park in his underwear and, without paying or borrowing for transportation, get to California in 10 days with a decent suit, $100...and a fiance. If he wins, he gets $15,000 to produce the play; if he loses, he must accept a job in his uncle's packing plant.

Ann Sothern must have been busy that week... SHE usually starred in these RKO, mid 1930's films with Gene Raymond. Guy pursues girl, Girl treats guy like crap, Guy and Girl FINALLY iron things out, similar to Fred Astair and Ginger films, but here, no dancing and singing. And at least the awesome, sarcastic Helen Broderick is in it, as always backing up Gene Raymond's underhanded character; she seems to want love to succeed, even when the young female lead is against it. In this one, Wendy Barrie is Paula, who is chased around the country by Michael (Gene Raymond) on some wild, silly caper, because he made a bet with someone. This one is just like all the other lightweight, fun, silly chases Raymond made in the 1930s. With the production code in full force, it had to be kept light and fluffy. Directed by Leigh Jason, who made three of these love stories with Raymond. Its a great 77 minutes of fun! FINALLY available on Warner Brothers Archives website.

One of the wittiest comedies I've ever seen. Intelligently written, every line is worth hearing. Delivery and timing are nearly perfect. The story is original; strange, but fun. Nice mix of comedy and romance, with a happy twist ending. Holds up very well against "It Happened One Night" which won all five major academy awards when it was released two years earlier. So many similarities: romantic comedy taking place in a very short span of time under very unusual, but somehow believable, circumstances. Not high art, but if you like the romantic comedies of the 30s and 40s, you'll love this movie.
