Barbara Stanwyck is the cardsharp, Henry Fonda the millionaire scientist who knows more about snakes than about women. Stanwyck and her father hatch a plan to scheme the naive Fonda out of a bundle, but love complicates the matter. "A frivolous masterpiece...full of classic moments and classic lines; it represents the dizzy high point of Sturges' comedy writing" (Pauline Kael).
