Everybody Loves Ernest... But Nobody's Quite Sure Who He Really Is.
Just LOOK at WHO GET THAT SLY "LUBITSCH TOUCH" NOW! (Print Ad- Philadelphia Inquirer, ((Philadelphia, Penna.)) 10 January 1940)
Everything comes full circle.
A romantic film amorously devoted to every man who ever gave the back of his hand to his beloved...and to every woman who deserved it!
It can now be said: 1. Apart from its widespread critical acclaim, it has provoked more discussion, interest and excitement than any other picture in memory. 2. People want to see it - in unprecedented numbers. In its first engagements it has shattered every record in the history of all theatres involved. 3.

You never choose love. Love chooses you.
If it was murder, where's the body?
...Because no one inspires me more.
The funniest movie ever to make you cry.
