    A principal característica dessa obra de arte cinematográfica é que tudo foi feito por uma unica pessoa que é EU SOZINHO, assim este filme é o primeiro filme da série do CINEMA DO EU SOZINHO.

  2. Fabulous old time comedy/mystery that I enjoyed a delightful morsel at a time. Too many current so called comedy mysteries present both parts in a loud, clumsly Did YouGet It way. I can count on these classis TCM films to present their heroes, villans and plots in a somewhat predictable fashion. The boy and girl end up together. The bad guys get theirs. On the way, though, I laugh, shed a tear and get a brief respite from the true ugliness on the news. Because of my real world, I NEED my TCM films, plots and characters more than ever. Patrick G.
