Pleasant rags-to-bitches tale, with Fonda shining.

Bergman never goes for heavy-handed schmaltz, and the whole movie has the same lighthearted big city spirit as the New York Post headlines that follow the story.

Bergman...really brings home the homage to Capra with the pic's warm, bordering-on-irresistible finale.

Writer Jane Anderson is a gifted scenarist who seems constrained by a Hollywood formula which places the happy romantic ending on the horizon like a beacon to stare at for nearly two hours.

Sweetness is fine as far as it goes, but this oddball romance could have used a twist of lemon.

Though set at present, this schmaltzy romantic comedy might as well have been set in the 1950s or even 1930s, because at heart it's a Capra comedy celebrating the decency of the "little people."

The nastiness in the movie feels derived from life, while all the niceness feels canned -- imported from old Jimmy Stewart pictures.

Best romance ever. Real, genuine characters with real, developed relationships. Not insulting, not cutesy, just wonderful.

...generally comes off as an absolutely charming romantic comedy that benefits substantially from the unequivocal chemistry between its stars.

Perez has a field day as Muriel, injecting a welcome note of good old-fashioned greed into what is otherwise a relentlessly edifying story.
