Excellent movie/Two Thumbs Up
13 November 2005 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

This is a movie full of Love, Comedy, and Romance all in one excellent movie. We can't get enough of it! All actors did an excellent job in this one. This is one movie we will never get tired of. It is always so refreshing to find a movie like this. If you are feeling down and out this will be a excellent pick-me up.

I never really knew about Beulah Bondi who plays James Stewart's mom, she is great in this movie. In fact she played his mother in a few other movies. I just realized she was in Tammy and the Doctor (1963) as Annie Call and she was very good in that too.

If you like this movie with Ginger Rogers, you will also like "The Major and the Minor".

Another actor I never really knew about is James Ellison, who plays James Stewart's cousin. I really loved him in this movie and would love to see more of his movies. A real handsome man and love to hear his voice.
