Nominated for four Oscars®, this fast-paced, lighthearted entertainment about eight stuffy professors and a sexy singer on the lam from the mob is "a pure delight" (The Hollywood Reporter)!
Once upon a time, a band of scholars set out to write a new encyclopedia. By their ninth year, the grumpy grammarian of the group, Bertram Potts (Cooper), is up to "S" for slang. In order to brush up on modern lingo, the professor decides to attend a bawdy nightclub, where he meets Sugarpuss O'Shea (Stanwyck), a burlesque queen who spices up his language and steals his heart. But Bertram soon discovers he's not the only one in hot pursuit of Sugarpuss... and now he and his gang of professors must outwit the mob (!)... or she might not live to see happily ever after! ...

En halunnut elokuvavuoden päättyvän Jalin ja suklaatehtaan CGI-naamojen aiheuttamaan kuvotukseen, joten viimeinen Geoffrey Jonesin suurenmoisista töistä sekä Hawksin mainio komedia vielä kurkusta alas. Juuri tällainen absurdia ihmiskäyttäytymistä sisältävä ruuvipalloilu viehättää. Ihana Barbara Stanwyck lumoaa pölyisen professorikahdeksikon, ja petollisista yllätykistä huolimatta kaikki loppuu hyvin. Nauroin ja viihdyin koko ajan, ei kai tästä sen enempää."

"SUGARPUSS O'SHEA: I love him because he's the kind of guy who gets drunk on a glass of buttermilk, and I love the way he blushes right up over his ears. I love him because he doesn't know how to kiss, the jerk!"

Kivassa Lumikki ja seitsemän kääpiötä -remakessa Gary Cooper on aivan pihalla englannin professorina, joka joutuu tekemisiin aivan kertakaikkisen ihanan Barbara Stanwyckin esittämän gangsterinheilan kanssa. Kuusi muuta, huomattavasti vanhempaa, professoria auttavat pariskuntaa löytämään toisensa. Mutkia polulle tuo Stanwyckin entinen roistoheila, mutta lopulta kumpikin osapuoli oppii toisiltaan asioita ja loppu hyvin, kaikki hyvin. Kaikki elokuvassa on tehty "
