Errol Flynn didn't play many husband-and-father roles, and it figures that when he did, his character would be a boozing, womanizing pinup artist who's still charming enough to be irresistible to both his young daughter and his ex-wife. The movie's a routine comic romance, except for two scenes - one in which Flynn and Donald Woods, both dressed as Santa Claus, recreate the Marx Brothers' mirror routine from "Duck Soup", and the other in which Flynn impersonates Humphrey Bogart. (It's not Flynn doing Bogart's voice. It's Humphrey Bogart.)
