Carole Lombard charms us again
How can anyone not appreciate how charming Carole Lombard can be in one of these types of roles? She is so funny and so endearing. She seems so simple and simple-minded, but ends up being much more complex than she is allowed to admit. Her costumes were well-done and very complimentary.Fred MacMurray sparkles in this role, as well. Both of them will make you laugh as they hang out with each other and try not to fall in love. There is definitely chemistry there between Fred and Carole. Fred's early film roles are often completely forgotten nowadays. Ralph Bellamy is equally funny in his role as the "crippled" rich man looking for companionship.
My favorite scene is where Carole's character starts crying uncontrollably and Bellamy's character tells her to stop crying. She responds, "I've a right to cry if I want to. I've got a good cry coming to me." I almost fell over laughing. Lighthearted fun that is not to be missed.
