I was watching a documentary on Preston Sturges, I think it was on the Sullivan's Travels DVD, and they spent some time talking about this film with Sturges wrote.
They suggest it as a precursor to Citizen Kane, given it's depiction of the life of a magnate, and the fact that it is told in non-linear flashback.
Add to that Jean Arthur, and it sounds like a must see.
Anyone care to comment?
