Bad things happen when you throw your wife's expensive new Kolinsky fur coat off a roof. At least, that's the lesson Mr. J.B. Ball learned when he tried it, and all the ensuing mishaps and crazy rumors begin to follow him all over town. The comedic duo of Jean Arthur and Edward Arnold is fantastic, and the pair would be teamed to similar screwball effect the following year, in Frank Capra's classic "You Can't Take It with You". A very young, very dapper Ray Milland adds a nice touch to the fun in this film. The insane, rollicking story proves that you can actually make a movie, and a good one at that, about a man throwing a fur coat off a roof!
