I will admit that I did not make it past the first ten minutes of this movie. The box should have warned of the excessive abuse towards cats. I loved the movie "Kids," and prefer independent films to the trash that Hollywood has habitually released in the last ten years, but this was a bit much, even for me!! If you want your friends to think you're "cutting edge," rent John Waters' "Female Trouble," and leave this one to the rednecks.

Honeymoon in Bali
(1939)
Pleasantly Surprised
22 October 2001
Wow! I picked this up today from the $4.99 DVD bin at K-Mart. What a pleasant surprise. It's your typical romantic story of boy meets girl, boy looses girl, ect., but there are some very fine moments.
The film opens with Madeline Carroll having her fortune told. It's an outrageous fortune, but as the story unfolds we see it coming true to life.
Fred MacMurray is great in this film. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't compare to his role in 'The Apartment,' but I was shocked when I realized that this film was made in 1939.
The open and candid talk of one of the characters attempted suicides (done in a VERY light-hearted way), makes me wonder if this film was passed by the Production Code.
