As Andrew Sarris says, not without its cruelties, but not without its beauties as well.

Rotten
An over-long and only spasmodically amusing romantic comedy...

It's the closest Wilder ever came to Ernst Lubitsch.

This film was produced by Mr. Wilder for Allied Artists -- in black-and-white. It is a hit.
