A very funny movie indeed. I'm surprised the film isn't better known. It was probably too subtle and sophisticated for its time, especially with war in Europe threatening again. But the screenplay, the acting, and the direction are all superb, satirizing quite effectively various pillars of society as well as the crime drama itself.
