Still Laughing ...
Watched this 1937 comedy recently on Turner Classic Movies and laughed
(out loud) harder than I have in a long while. That\'s saying something, as I am usually one of those "just smile when something is funny" type of people (those of you like me know what I mean ;)). Although I am a fan of Stanwyck and Marshall, the incomparable character performances of Eric Blore (the Valet - "Butch") and Donald Meek (the Judge) STOLE the show. I am still laughing as I remember. You may not remember the names of Blore and Meek, but if you have watched (practically) ANY movie from the 20\'s, 30\'s or 40\'s, you will recognize their faces (usually as butlers, bankers, judges, or valets --combined - the two were in over 200 films in those 30 years!) As previous reviewers have said, this movie is pure fun, lite comedy, with some of our most loved actors - worth the watch and GUARANTEED for a belly laugh! . Fun For All
A New York playboy & a Texas rich girl enjoy BREAKFAST
FOR TWO after a wild night on the town. Here is a screwball comedy which derives its humor more from the fine acting of its cast than from zany situations. When these situations do appear late in the film the characters are well established in the viewer's mind, adding extra zest to some very funny sequences. Barbara Stanwyck stars as the highly determined young woman who uses her considerable resources to save the man she loves from his improvident lifestyle. This was an actress equally adept at the grittiest drama or the lightest comedy. Her timing was impeccable and her delivery uniquely all her own. As the object of her affections, Herbert Marshall makes excellent use of his suave demeanor and marvelous speaking voice to add a soup. |
