...vengeful sisters and their father follow. From there on Happy's two-timing gets more & more complicated and less & less funny. Too much of this dizzy story shows signs of hard labor; about half is rather enjoyable. Betty Hutton (The Miracle of Morgan's Creek) gets funnier with every picture.

It would have been the best comedy of the year but the directors and script writers worked too hard. They combined the dialogue and action so neatly the number of good goes are lost while the audience is howling at the slapstick...
