Delightful vehicle for the always-enjoyable William Powell and a feisty newcomer by the name of Rosalind Russell. Pretty lively for a spy picture of this vintage, featuring lots of good humor as well as some cleverly thought-through espionage bits. Russell isn't great yet, but it's fun to watch her knowing that in a scant five years she'll be Hildy Johnson, one of the greatest comic roles ever played.
