This was a hoot, as Ollie ends up late for his wedding because of a thoughtful gift from his best man, Stan--a jigsaw puzzle that EVERYONE becomes addicted to. I'm especially fond of this film, and gave bonus marks to it, due to the fact that its release date was exactly 70 years before the birth of my son, Julian.
