Its message drags it from the front guard of Sturges's work, but it shines nonetheless.

a highly satirical piece, poking fun at Hollywood itself and showing how out of touch it can be
September 28, 2015
Hard-nosed, farcical, tender, critical, satirical, elitist and populist all at once.
March 07, 2005

It is, quite simply, a dazzling piece of filmmaking.
