Movie Review by B Movie Ben

June 3rd, 2007

Do I laugh now, or wait 'til it gets funny?

This film was nominated for seven Oscars and probably would have won them all if it had not been going up against Going My Way.

Billy Wilder wrote and directed this outstanding film with Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck, and Edward G. Robinson in a role that has to be seen to be believed.

Robinson to me is a gangster (Little Caesar, Key Largo, Larceny, Inc), but he is apparently more than that because he was simple incredible as a claims adjuster in this film. The lines Wilder gave him were brilliant and he delivered them without flaw.

McMurray was the original Absent Minded Professor and, of course, the father on My Three Sons. he plays the insurance salesman who gets over his head with Stanwyck (The Big Valley). Here she is a hot blond and McMurray falls like a rock.

This is one of Wilder's best and one not to miss.
