Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaKatherine Grant (Claudette Colbert) dreams that Jim Ryan (Fred MacMurray) is a super-hero. In reality, MacMurray's image was used as the inspiration for the original Captain Marvel (aka "Shazam") in 1939.
- GoofsWhen the strongman catches the barbell and falls down, a mat is clearly visible for him to fall on. The mat disappears in the next shot.
- Quotes
Katherine Grant: Oh, you---you coward! Kissing a woman!
Jim Ryan: What am I supposed to kiss?

Featured review
I love this movie!
Yes, it is dated and sexist and kinda clichéd. You can also say that for most comedies of this era. BUT - this is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. It has it all: snappy dialogue, perfectly delivered by a stellar cast; loads of broad physical humor; moments you won't believe got past the censors:
Ryan: it was so late when I finished, that-- Katherine: Finished what? Ryan: Are you kidding?
Colbert and MacMurray's supporting cast really shine too. June Havoc as the ditsy Darlene ("Hey, my face was open!"), Richard Haydn as Roger, the composer ("What am I supposed to do here, there isn't even a piano!") and of course, Ilka Chase as Katherine's sister Hoppy, who delivers one of the best comedic lines in movie history: "Doorbells should ring once, then electrocute the ringer."
This has been one of my favorite films for years, so I was thrilled when it was finally released on DVD as part of a Claudette Colbert collection. Do yourself a favor and pick it up...there are five other fun films in the collection, but none top "No Time for Love."
