Absolutely Fantastic

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Make no mistake, this is not a "great" movie, but it's pretty decent escapist fare worth watching at least once. Actually, the plot is pretty decent, but over time there are spots that just aren't very logical, so the picture suffers from that viewpoint. Get beyond that, and you have a comedy that had greater potential.Lana Turner is a bored 21 year old in a dull job in a small town. She leaves an ambiguous note, making people think she has committed suicide, and heads for NYC. In a quirk accident she is injured and is thought to be an amnesia victim...which she then decides to play along with, and a newspaper runs a feature trying to identify her. Is she a rich heiress? She pretends to be so...the daughter of a rather refined Walter Brennan! Meanwhile, Robert Young is trying to desperately find her...and falls in love with her unexpectedly.Turner is good here, and so is Robert Young. In fact, this is one of his better movie roles. It's a very different role than we usually see Walter Brennan in...and it's rather nice to see him shaved. The rest of the cast is pleasant enough.You won't order this for your DVD shelf, but it's pleasant enough for one viewing.

This is my opinion of Lana Turner's very best role. I agree that she showed great at comedy, certainly in this. Her most authentic work ...However, she was box office almost immediately, and since the big budget pictures are more often dramas, that's where she went. She remained box office, but to me, was a gag in most of her dramatic roles. She seemed like a tough, enduring type of person, who worked hard at it. She needed to, since in-depth portrayals did not seem to come natural to her. She certainly never seemed very natural in them. Since the public was fascinated with her regardless, she kept showing up.This movie reminded me of a very early Barbara Stanwyck in "The Mad Miss Manton." However, Stanwyck was a gifted actress who shone in dramatic roles.Turner was just a movie star. It really seems, though, that she could have been a gifted comedic actress if they would have let her ... Maybe she was just too good looking.

Now I know production wasn't what it is today but...Towards the end of this film Robert Young's character facing Lana Turner's character are wiping (supposed) grease from each others faces. When you watch them wiping you will notice NO grease on the handkerchiefs.This is rather amusing because there seems to be quite a smudge on both.The movie was intriguing throughout and I would watch this film again. I would watch this film again and again just for the goofs. Lana Turner, to me was a whining bit of a minx in her dramatic performances. Comedy should have been her forte'. At least she wouldn't be so melodramatic in her roles. Someone out there in "Movie Land" thought to just look at her would be enough and camouflage the rest with sappy dialog.

I didn't find this film to be a let down in any way - I found it very funny. I didn't take my eyes from it; the gorgeous sets and beautiful Lana Turner were mesmerizing. There is a hilarious scene in which Peggy Evans (Turner) is trying to decide what her new name will be: Walking down a city street, she sees ads and signs of retailers and tries out the names to see if they suit her (Abercrombie & Fitch, Suzanne Hats, etc...). She's debating with herself, trying out new names - and it's just hilarious. There are a few scenes where we hear her talking to herself, and I find these scenes some of the most fun. She's clever and serious, but her logic is unfounded. This is a fun movie, and I don't believe the cast took it too seriously. The cast seemed to make it a light comedy-drama, with a few madcap laughs.
