Great Film overall
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
I love Barbara Stanwick so I thought I would check it out. So outdated. Too bad that things were ever this way. Do not bother to watch it unless you just want to be grateful for how most situations are better today.
One of films so predictable than, except the actors, nothing could become interesting. the problem is not exactly the story or the vision of director or the cliches but the impression to discover, more and more, not the inspired choices. Henry Fonda is far to be credible as playboy/ rich man/ jealous husband . the story is for him a huge ice field in which each step is a fall. Barbara Stanwyck has great efforts for build a convincing character. but dr. Helen Hunt is just a sort of weather vane. Roger Clark looks for the right tone for his Vandemer. but the character is like a puzzle with too many lost peaces. the virtue ? it is a perfect film for the viewer who needs a refuge against blockbusters of the new milennium, familiar actors, easy stories and who real has low expectations.
A pretty boring, so-called "comedy" which attempted to cash in on the huge critical and movie audience's success of The Lady Eve, but failed dismally – especially for non-Fonda and non-Stanwyck fans. The two seem to be on screen, bickering away almost continuously. Fonda plays a petulant, charmless, immature spoilt brat of a boorish bore. In all, this is a clumsy, leaden farce of interest only to rabid Fonda and/or Stanwyck fans who will enjoy the fact that the two are always very glossily and flatteringly photographed. Although he has a comparatively small role as the hotel desk clerk, Fritz Feld gives an exaggerated, way-out performance that totally misfires and strikes all the wrong notes. Harold Waldridge is almost as bad as Smithers. In all a clumsy, leaden farce.
This is an oddity and truly shows its time and its era and not well. I am not surprised it is so rarely seen. Henry Fonda as the wimp of all time in a poorly contrived little vehicle to showcase Barbara I would think who plays a spunky bright young doctor and gets a lot of good lines. However, I gave it a 5 out of 10 for the supporting cast who are magnificent. Buchanan particularly as a crusty old gardener and also the guy who plays the butler is a hoot. I could have just watched the supporting players all night and Barbara of course. Normally I enjoy old Henry but here he shows more than his normal display of great Fonda teeth and is given the worst and most brainless lines. All these actors had to earn their stripes over the years in poorly scripted movies like these.
