A screwball comedy with light noir influences. It's a combination of two rather unpleasant genres, helmed by a director who never managed to impress me before. It's no surprise then that Unfaithfully Yours did very little for me. It's classic genre fluff that is already fading as I write this review.
The characters are annoying, a lot of the comedy hinges on the rapid banter (which lacks edge), and the noir elements don't fit in all that well with the rest of the film. It's also a tad long, but that's probably because I didn't care for any of it. It's not my kind of film, and Sturges couldn't convince me otherwise.
