This is one comedy of remarriage which hasn’t aged so well. Slow; the jokes to modern taste few and far between; and Jimmy Stewart hams it up badly in the early part of the film. The film’s ideological project – patriarchy’s taming of the threat offered by the Katharine Hepburn persona – is unlikely to be well-received nowadays; certainly not by me.
