This is the first film I've seen of Irene Dunne's and I was amazed at how much she reminded me of Susan Sarandon. Take a look at the scene where she and Douglas Fairbanks are in a courtroom and I think you'll see what I mean! It's really remarkable! Part of it is her voice inflections, but it's also her mannerisms and the way she smiles. As far as I can tell, the two seem completely unrelated, however. The only biographical info I found about Dunne lists her having an adopted daughter. Anyway, it's a cute movie, but a little typical. On a side note, it's interesting to see Lucille Ball in a small role before she became really famous.
