This film has had a few different formats over the years, but finding a good quality copy can be a bit tricky, which adds to its allure for collectors. It doesn’t pop up as often as you’d expect, especially in decent condition, so there’s definitely interest among those who appreciate classic comedies. The early screwball elements also offer a fascinating glimpse into the comedic style of the time, making it a nice find for any collector looking to understand the evolution of the genre.
