Trivia
[Foreword] Once upon a time, a famous author named Thorne Smith wrote a book, conceived in a moment of delirium, and written in a cuckoo clock, the first chapters convinced us He was crazy. The ensuing left no doubt that possibly WE were. So we leave you to enjoy this new and completely mad type of whimsical humor on the screen.

Stop rattling cellophane! Take Sonny's shoes off! Park your gum under the seat where it belongs, and let's all go crazy together.

Quotes
Hunter Hawk: Fugitives should be alone. That's what makes them fugitives.

"You have a date with me and...science."

Quirky fantasy adapted from a novel by Thorne Smith, who had more successful adaptations in Topper and I Married a Witch. This isn't bad though. The sci-fi and fantasy elements are good. Alan Mowbray and Peggy Shannon are having a lot of fun. There's a little too much whimsy and the ending is a cop-out, but there are lots of funny lines and moments. I wonder how much those statues cost.
