This Prestton Sturges production is packed with delightful absurdities.

Leave it to Preston Sturges to create the sexiest and most grown-up romantic comedy of his day.

It's about as breezy, carefree, and anarchic as romantic comedies get. Full of absurd comedic digressions and bookends that still don't quite make sense, this eccentric road trip comedy would likely never get made in today's Hollywood climate.
