À quoi s’attendre
Barbara Stanwyck controls the film’s disguises, pauses, and reversals with extraordinary precision. Preston Sturges makes romance a contest over who gets to interpret whom, while physical comedy repeatedly punctures male confidence.
Comment aborder le film
The two identities are not a mystery for the audience. Enjoy the imbalance: Jean knows exactly what Charles sees, while he keeps mistaking his own certainty for experience.

I love that Charles studies snakes but cannot recognise the danger of his own assumptions. Jean barely has to change; she only gives his imagination a more elegant trap.
