Who'll love it
Made for romantics and anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved Limelight or To All the Boys: Always and Forever, start here.
The mood
Funny with heart, romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 58 min.
What might put you off
Made in 1942: an older pace and style.

Ten screenwriters collaborated on this series of tales concerning the effect a tailcoat cursed by its tailor has on those who wear it. The video release features a W.C. Fields segment not included in the original theatrical release.
