I Just Adore This Screwball Comedy
When you fall in love with a genre the way I did with screwball comedy, you wade through a lot of duff second rate slapstick films with lines that feel so contrived and 'written' that you forget to laugh.

But this is a joy from beginning to end. You laugh hysterically at the interplay between the former husband and wife team of sullavan and fonda. It is for me up there with 'Bringing Up Baby', one of my favourite films of all time.

Buy/rent/see this film.

MARRIAGE FARCE
An incredibly fun picture to watch, it's even more fascinating for the fact that Sullavan and Fonda made this picture right after they divorced each other in real life! In this bright romp, Maggie's a movie star and Hank's a writer of high adventure; both use pseudonyms for their respective careers and they meet using their real names and marry not knowing that the other is famous! On their honeymoon, Sullavan wears perfume to which Hank is highly allergic and thus you get the gist of this merry screwball flick. Beulah Bondi scores as Fonda's secretary and the always fun hatchet-faced Hamilton is Mitty in the roominghouse scene.

Starlet falls in love with novelist!
When a shallow and famous star falls in love with a novelist that thinks she is the least interesting person in the world, sparks fly. This is a true romantic comedy with love, adventure and romance. No-wishy washy men in this one!
