pretty good love triangle...
23 April 2015
Some great, fun Hollywood stars in this one! Jack Carson, Ann Sheridan, Dennis Morgan, Jane Wyman. Keep an eye out for John Loder as "Owen".. who looks and sounds EXACTLY like Laurence Oliver. Who copied who? Tom (Dennis Morgan) needs to choose between Christie (Sheridan) and Cecelia, but "stuff" gets in the way. Jack Carson is along for comic relief. Also watch for Reginal Gardiner.. plays Jim Fisk here. Sheridan and Gardiner will work again together in "The Man WHo Came to Dinner", a better film x 1000. Tom's father, played by Thurston Hall, (was in Topper..) steps in and interferes with the works. Some fast talking. Things move along, kind of. Based on the play "Animal Kingdom". The same guy, Philip Barry, wrote "Philadelphia" and "Holiday", both of which starred Katherine Hepburn, and were HUGE successes. Same fast plot, fast talking, good rapport between the actors. A fun watch, but not quite as solid plot as those two other stories. Directed by Peter Godfrey. Story starts out strong, but kind of loses steam about half-way through. Gets a bit maudlin.
