Classic 4 STAR Comedy Gem- A must see!
This classic B&W comedy is a 4 STAR gem that overlooked Vincent Price's comedic strength, and could have led to a far greater career had he done more comedy instead of horror flicks. The story is also prescient regarding the soap sponsored game shows that became so pervasive during early television. Colman, to this day, had the most beautiful speaking voice in film history. The movie is clever and quite funny, but the biggest surprise is how good Vincent Price is in it. 4 EASY STARS- A MUST SEE- Equal to such classics as: Arsenic and Old Lace Bringing Up Baby Midnight

Trivia

Mel Blanc was given screen credit as the voice of Caesar the parrot. He was also given considerable feature copy in the film's original pressbook. However, it is obvious from screening the film that Blanc is NOT the voice of Caesar. He was apparently replaced by a female voice artist, perhaps because his voice was, by 1950, too recognizable. The voice of Caesar might have been done by Bernice Hansen except she had stopped working some years before this picture was released.

Quotes

Beauregard Bottomley: You'll never be more spotless, Gwenn. You've been sutterly brushed off.
Gwenn Bottomley: I think he's quite amusing. Did you notice his wonderful smile?
Beauregard Bottomley: Did I? I feel I know personally each one of his teeth.

Goofs

When Ronald Colman, Barbara Britton and others watch TV in the shop window they would not be able to hear any sound through the store glass. However, to draw crowds to sell TVs or just attract customers, stores circa 1950 mounted loudspeakers to carry broadcast sound to passersby in front.

Crazy Credits

Opening and closing credits run against a background of champagne bubbles.
