Associated Press
Good Sam is a comedy whose central character, played by Gary Cooper, often slows the film's pace because of a languidness and too obviously premeditated performance in a pic that in itself is unusually long.

McCarey understands it as a translucent joke and gives it a spacious treatment

Rating: B- --
Though it's second-tier Leo McCarey fable and not a major star vehicle for Gary Cooper, it's still worth seeing this film

Product Description:
Gary Cooper fills the screen with his generosity in this lighthearted comedy about a good Samaritan whose good deeds seldom go unpunished. Virtuous and helpful in all instances, Sam puts himself and his family in hot water again and again as he tries to right the wrongs of the world. Sam's wife's (Ann Sheridan) personal virtue is her patience with her incurably optimistic husband--until finally things go too far.
Ann Sheridan, whose glowing beauty made her a popular pinup girl, took audiences by storm the year after GOOD SAM in the comedy I WAS A MALE WAR BRIDE with Cary Grant, while Cooper turned serious as architect Roarke in Ayn Rand's THE FOUNTAINHEAD.
