- GoofsFreddie sells 1/2 of the sweepstakes ticket (Jean's half) for $6000. David still owned the other (losing) half and therefore was not entitled to the half (quarter) that Jean gave him.

Featured review
Archetypal screwball comedy, but lacking vitality. One expects a lot of enjoyment from a movie starring Ginger Rogers, Ronald Colman, and Jack Carson, with a fine supporting cast, and a plot involving the Irish Sweepstakes. However, one doesn't get it. Partly it's the age difference-- Colman was 48, a stretch for the part he was playing, Rogers was 29 and in her prime. The movie's theme is "opposites attract" but it didn't work--instead, there was just a total lack of chemistry.
There was a lot of charm in the courtroom scenes, with the endearing Harry Davenport as judge.
However, overall the film was unbearably slow-paced. Too bad, It could have been a comedy delight.
