GINGER ROGERS had a flair for light comedy that is evident here as a department store clerk who is mistakenly believed to be the mother of a foundling baby. David NIVEN is the philandering son of rich man CHARLES COBURN and both of them think Rogers is the baby's mother.
That about sums up the plot, out of which Norman Krasna makes the most out of a situation which could easily have been explained if someone just told the truth. Apparently, RKO thought the story was so cute that it deserved a remake and in '57 it was remade as BUNDLE OF JOY with Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher. Unfortunately, it lacked the sparkle of the original and included some forgettable songs.
David NIVEN is every bit as charming as Ginger in the sort of role you might expect CARY GRANT to fill and CHARLES COBURN, FRANK ALBERTSON and ERNEST TRUEX add to the fun. The New Year's Eve party scene is a standout among a series of amusing capers.
Summing up: Nothing special, but passes the time pleasantly.
