This film feels like a delightful throwback to classic screwball comedies, brimming with snappy banter and charming period aesthetics. It's a playful dance of mistaken identities and unexpected attractions, all set against a stylish 1940s New York backdrop. Expect a lighthearted, witty romp that's easy to get swept up in.
