Anyone curious about the effect of the Production Code on the Hollywood film should watch--and listen--to this delightfully and quite obviously pre-Code musical comedy, brimming with double entendres and sexual innuendos. Cary Grant, in his first screen appearance, is already very Cary Grant, but the older generation steals the show--particularly Charles Ruggles and Roland Young in bristling, witty repartee. The Lubitsch-like plot even has Thelma Todd married to Grant, but cheating on him with Young! If This Is the Night (recently revived at Cinecon 20) seems a stylistic twin to the celebrated Love Me Tonight, what Tuttle and Mamoulian share, as Anthony Slide notes, is the Lubitsch influence and the “more important common denominator of...rhyming dialogue and musical numbers (that) are adeptly used to carry along the action, a revolutionary idea in film musicals, whose plots would generally grind to a halt for each song.”
