The remakes of this film are dreadful, and it turns out the original isn't any better. Apart from a short dream sequence halfway through, it's a film built on endless dialogues that fail to be amusing and/or funny. It's a towering bunch of boring clichés, fired away at the audience at breakneck speed.
Spencer Tracy is a decent cast, but his character is dull and the plot doesn't give him much to work with. The story is terribly predictable, there's not even a thing to smirk at and while 90 minutes is relatively short, the film feels at least twice as long. Not a film I'll fondly remember if I remember it at all.
