Trivia
Katherine Grant (Claudette Colbert) dreams that Jim Ryan (Fred MacMurray) is a super-hero. In reality, MacMurray's image was used as the inspiration for the original Captain Marvel (aka "Shazam") in 1939.

Goofs
When the strongman catches the barbell and falls down, a mat is clearly visible for him to fall on. The mat disappears in the next shot.

Quotes
Katherine Grant: Oh, you---you coward! Kissing a woman!
Jim Ryan: What am I supposed to kiss?

A fun romp breaking down barriers of the modern woman and the macho image.

I have seen this movie many times and am searching for a copy. It is a favorite. Those who have loved Colbert and McMurry in their other pairings will thoroughly enjoy this romp. These two had an on-screen chemistry second only to Hepburn ad Tracy. If you loved "The Egg and I", you will enjoy "No Time for Love". Ilka Chase fans will enjoy her role as she always played her characters with such ease and reality. Colbert, like Roz Russel, always played the woman in command of her life who eventually gives into her leading man. The viewer must remember that "No Time for Love" was a contract movie cranked out at rapid pace by the studios for profit and in an era of war. These movies were needed to lighten the spirit of America and they still do that today.
