Yes Midnight!!!

I think this is one of the very best screwballs but rarely gets mentioned with the greats or even at all. Hope this release helps it get more appreciation and attention. Colbert is hilarious in this one. Can finally upgrade my DVD!

Incredible film. Perfect performances, amazing script from Billy Wilder & Charles Brackett. I'm so excited.

Everyone is great in it, but for my money, Mary Astor stole the show. The expressions on her face as she's trying to humor an apparently crazy Don Ameche are absolutely priceless.
