This film illustrates why the average pre-Code film is better than most films made under the Code. Here are the reasons I rate the film so highly: -It is one of the most moving screwball comedies I've seen, with a couple each explaining to their daughter why she should not repeat their mistake in getting married. -It lets everyone know who is sleeping/has slept with whom. The daughter is a virgin, and the mother thinks she has slept with the girl's suitor, who has been sleeping with the girl's aunt. -It stars the best character actor of the golden age, Lionel Barrymore, and the rest of the cast lives up to his standard. -It has an hilarious game of "20 Questions." -It has one of the sexiest seduction scenes, with the teenager throwing herself at the middle-aged artist. -It has a brilliant last line, which renders sense to the screwiness.
