This is in no way to get down on Leo McCarey who did such wonderful pieces as The Awful Truth (a favorite), Going My Way (which, according to Crosby, was very much improvised), and The Bells of St. Mary's. Not every director is perfect despite having star players. You can look at Once Upon a Honeymoon (the worst Ginger Rogers and Cary Grant film I have seen as yet) for further proof.
Sidenote:
I am still looking for the origin of that heinous word, Boojum which means girlfriend or an attractive young woman. Any input? Upon looking into the origin I did find a morbid tidbit on Tom Gilson who sings "You're My Boojum!" in the film. His wife, actress Sandra (Saundra) Edwards killed him with a shotgun to the heart after Gilson broke into her sister's house where she was residing after she left him for beating her. She shot him in self-defense after he threatened to kill her and her children.
