Elizabeth Taylor tries to cure Van Johnson of the biggest hangover in history in this "extremeIy clever and amusing fiIm . . .fuIl of amusing situations and brilIiant diaIogue" (The HoIlywood Reporter).
lt seems that Johnson's problem stems from a WWll incident when the ex-piIot was trapped in a wine ceIIar during a bombing raid and aImost drowned in a flood of brandy. Since then even a sniff of the "nectar" renders him instantIy pie-eyed. Now, as the newest member of a stuffy Iaw firm, he finds himseIf prey to innocent birthday toasts and not-so-innocent practical jokes. To his rescue comes young Miss Taylor, the boss' exquisiteIy beautifuI daughter and amateur psychologist who sets out to help Johnson lose his headache. . .and win his heart.
Writer-director Norman Krasna, winner of 1943's Best ScreenpIay Oscar for Princess O'Rourke, wieIds "a sharp point on the end of a funny stick" (The New York Times) as he enriches this entertaining comedy with insightfuI commentary on man's selfishness and lack of sociaI consciousness. |
