Bracken is a shrill actor. I understand that he was playing a dork, but he played a dork gratingly.

(btw, Dennis Quaid's sexuality wasn't assertive? in the '80s he practically dropped his cock in the audience's lap, and how I loved him for it.)

I've been sick 'all year' so I rewatched this as treatment today.
There are three long walking-around-town takes, two with Norval-Trudy and one with Trudy-Emmy, and they unfold pristinely, except one where there are two jarring blowups docused on betty Hutton. There's no way Sturges wanted that, some production asshole at Paramount must've insisted on breaking up the shot.
Among all the censor-baiting ribaldry, Trudy and Norval spend at least a minute of dialogue considering joint suicide as one solution to their predicament (ending with "What's wrong with gas?" "What's wrong with bigamy?").

acc to the DVD features, Al Bridge's line “I practice the law. I am not only willing but anxious to sue anyone anytime for anything!” was flagged by the Hays Office to be cut; it wasn't. So they were out to protect the good name of lawyerin'.

Morbs was never more correct than he was about this movie.
