Review:
Enchanting comedy that had been filmed before with Gloria Swanson but here gets the Lubitsch touch, or does it? Who else but Wilder and Brackett could build a story on a mere pair of pyjamas*? And they had the stars to fill them then. *The lovers first meet in a department store where he is thriftily trying to buy the tops only, and she comes to the rescue, saying she only sleeps in the bottoms!
