Reviews in German: "Der mittellose New Yorker Angestellte Jimmy beteiligt sich mit dem unmöglichen Slogan "If you don't sleep at night, it isn't the coffee, it's the bank!" an einem 25000-Dollar-Wettbewerb. Zwei seiner Arbeitskollegen fälschen zum Witz das Gewinnertelegramm. Für Jimmy, nun im Glauben, er sei der Gewinner, ändert sich schlagartig das ganze Leben. Der Schwindel wird aufgedeckt, doch in Sturges Komödien ist jedes Ende möglich, vorausgesetzt, es ist ein glückliches. Mit seinem zweiten Film realisierte Sturges eine wie ein Feuerwerk abbrennende Screwball-Comedy bester Qualität." (Zoom)
