This is perhaps the centerpiece of director's Preston Sturges great films. What makes this one stand out amongst the rest is Bracken's natural improvisions unique to his peculiar character personality flaws. Yes, in real life, he was quite a normal acting person....hard to believe. But in his films he was just hilarious! Sturges had the right instincts to give this talented comedian enough space to do his own thing even if it wasn't in the script. It was the mutual respect between the two that created this gem.

This is one of those rare films where people get to walk on the naughty side without being offensive. It is one of the 10 best American comedies ever.

I was very pleased the Dvd came in sooner than expected which meant I got to watch it and laugh and enjoy. I had owned one previously and lost it. Glad to have it back in my collection. Miracle of Morgan's Creek is a all time favorite.

Modern comedies should be as good as this old movie. A touchy situation is handled with high hilarity and astonishing good taste. Perormance are top notch. Betty Hutton has never been Better. Diana Lynn is acidically wonderful William Demarest frustatingly hilarious. Eddie Bracken, while a bit over the top sometimes, holds his own. The supporting players are all terrific,and the script and direction by Preston Sturges can not be beat. I can only image what a tasteless, filthy movie would be made today tackling the same subject matter.
