This is a dreadful movie, wavering between comedy and piety, with a wan attempt at romance thrown in.
William Powell was a dashing figure but he needed, and usually had, something. He needed a charming, beautiful costar. Think Myrna. Even the usually sublime Irene Dunne in the icky "Life With Father."
Here he has a young Esther Williams. She is appealing and she clearly is doing her best. But -- how cane one avoid this? She is a fish out of water.
The movie's brushes with the saint in the title are, in my opinion, as someone who is very devout, inappropriate and smarmy as used here.
