![Claudette Colbert remarked 'I adored Mitch [Leisen] as a person and admired his talent as an artist. He never imposed his will on any player that I can recall.'](Images/Midnight7.jpg "Claudette Colbert remarked 'I adored Mitch [Leisen] as a person and admired his talent as an artist. He never imposed his will on any player that I can recall.'")
Intricately plotted like a carefully constructed,
yet delicate, house-of-cards designed to topple at just the right time
(a figurative Cinderella midnight hour) all to very amusing effect.
Claudette Colbert is completely charming. This is
a consummate performance in comedy film.
Mitchell Leisen, known mainly to film buffs,
deserves a greater reputation for his excellent direction (here at its
peak) - done with an assured but light touch.
