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.

Had no experience other than 'My Three Sons' of the acting of Fred MacMurray, and had not seen Claudette Colbert at all, before stumbling on this film on the old, (better!),AMC in the mid-'90s.

The story is fresh, the dialogue sparkling, the acting understated, the screenplay well paced, the direction deftly weaving together an improbable tale of rather unlikely characters into a story in which we are almost instantly interested.

The contrasts between the elitist, New York intellectuals of Colbert's trendy news magazine, and the blue-collar Sandhogs led by MacMurray are displayed with wit and charm rather than a heavy handed preaching about class differences.

The story is more than just the blooming romance between the leads.

There are numerous moments of action, suspense, male humor, female humor, and many quite amusing one-liners thrown out by supporting cast, so don't be put off by the 'Romance' categorization.

Far from being a cliché 'romance', it reminds me more of a screwball comedy with strong romantic elements.

The chemistry between Colbert and MacMurray is fascinating to watch as they develop the characters, through interaction with one another, from plot point to plot point.

The supporting cast is superlative. Each character has individual quirks which shine from scene to scene, yet they never upstage the leads.

Saw the two leads in 'The Egg And I' after seeing this film.

If you enjoyed Colbert and MacMurray in that film, you may enjoy the higher energy at all levels of their chemistry in this forgotten gem!

SPOILER WARNING!! SPOILER BELOW THIS LINE!!

Hilarious and psychologically insightful dream sequence! MacMurray as a sort of Superman; Colbert as a flighty Damsel In Distress, with a rare use of then-advanced special visual effects, add up to a near-genius scene in a very well made film!

High-minded famed modern photographer Katherine Grant (Claudette Colbert) quits Mirror Magazine once again after arguing with the editor. Publisher Henry Fulton has a crush on her and forces him to apologize. She insists that she doesn't get preferential treatment and the editor promptly sends her into the tunnel construction under the river. Her presence causes an accident leading to meathead sandhog Jim Ryan (Fred MacMurray) getting into a fight. She starts dreaming about the hunk and decides to confront it. Henry releases a picture of Ryan fighting causes him to be suspended. Katherine hires him as her assistant and rom-com chaos ensues.

I like the pairing of Colbert and MacMurray. The actors have a nice chemistry with physical comedy and biting lines. The main drawback is that MacMurray doesn't fit the meathead role. He can play clueless but once he put on a suit and bow tie, he no longer fits the blue collar superman hunk character anymore. I would love to see this remade. This is a fun silly little rom-com.
