I saw this film one day when I wanted to broaden my mind in the world of old cinema and I enjoyed it greatly.
The Bullocks are wild and play off each other very well, and the inclusion of Godfrey and Molly were a great touch to the madness. I wouldn't be surprised if this working together in this movie is the reason why it wouldn't work in another (in a trope-making sense).
I found the story very clever and entertaining. The thought of Mr Bullock, the most level-headed member of the Bullocks, struggling to keep his wealth together is the best unintentional irony that this film did. The two daughters acting like bickering children when they're grown women too rich to work is hilarious, and I was actually rooting for Irene to end up with Godfrey like everyone else in the film. Also, their rich friends being thoughtless numpties was hilarious (although, it was a bit frustrating at times, I must admit.)
What a wild ride this was

I can't wait to watch this film again.
