An enjoyable film. Stage actor Monty Wooley plays a pompous, arrogant radio celebrity who intends to travel cross country with his assistant, played by Bette Davis. It's really interesting to see her in this comedy as a supporting player because her films from this period were mostly dramatic roles where she plays lead.After he suffers a fall, Monty (along with Bette) is forced to spend time in the house of the Stanleys (Grant Mitchell and Billie Burke) and the rest of their family.
During his stay, which spans the Christmas holiday season, he is very opinionated about everything and everyone, leading to a number of humorous moments. Jimmy Durante is also in this, and I must confess, I am not a fan of his; don't find him too funny. With Ann Sheriden. Directed by William Keighley (The Adventures of Robin Hood).
