Alicia I love this movie so much

Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

csteidler Wealthy and beautiful Loretta Young is all set to marry Broderick Crawford and settle down to a normal life, but for a lark she takes her gang of socialite friends to see the Great Arturo, the magician in town. Next thing you know, she's ditched her family and friends, married Arturo, and joined his traveling magic act. David Niven is that charming showman Arturo and his bride quickly realizes that he's not only a showman but a thrill seeker--and a party animal, as well. One morning Young and Niven are both surprised to read in the paper that he has drunkenly promised to jump out of an airplane in handcuffs. Niven thinks, I can't disappoint my audience! I have to do it even if it kills me! Young thinks, Wouldn't it be sweet to have a nice quiet home in the country? Therein lies the conflict that, unfortunately, drags on for the rest of the picture. Young is fine as the earnest young woman in love with a disaster waiting to happen. And Niven is quite convincing as the out-of-control daredevil who just can't stop himself. However, the question is - What exactly do they see in each other? The characters just don't seem to have any reason to be together.The strong supporting cast includes Billie Burke, Ray Walburn, Zasu Pitts, and C. Aubrey Smith. Hugh Herbert is very good as Niven's assistant. It's a handsome production but while the stars do look good it's too bad that neither of their characters seems very bright.

JohnHowardReid Stylishly produced with a great cast, an able director and a fine photographer, but a super-thin story, "Eternally Yours" is a bit of a disappointment. Pitts hasn't much of a role, but Walburn is a delight. Niven, Young (beautifully photographed) and Crawford labor enthusiastically, but the film, despite its lavish dressing, is also a bit disappointing from the director's angle too. Aside from a few optical tricks with imaginative lighting and one or two amusing juxtapositions – Arturo's poster contrasted with Niven searching for his collar button – it lacks Garnett's usual zip, drive and flair. Whilst the direction is efficient, it only occasionally offers that magic ingredient of imaginative fervor – such as the business with the rabbits – that distinguishes Garnett's best films.

misctidsandbits This movie survived by a very effective layer of gloss, the class and distinctiveness of both Niven and Young's portrayals and the production values. But, oh, the surrounding stuff. Broderick Crawford as a love interest for Ms. Young? Magic acts? What an embarrassing entry this must have been for the star performers in the year of some of the most classic films ever made. This film is one good example of the leads overcoming the liabilities of the vehicle, thus saving the show. Well, sort of. Ms. Young later recounts the scene on the bed with Niven being her favorite subtle type of love scene. Reviewers cite this particular scene as what could have been a censor objection had not the actors handled it with so much sophistication and grace.

edwagreen Routine film with Loretta Young married to magician David Niven. After a misunderstanding, she divorces him and weds of all people, Broderick Crawford. Crawford, who always could be counted as being a heavy in films is really a guy coming off as a fool. Somewhat such as Ralph Bellamy would have been far better suited for the part.Of course, Young still loves Niven so the end is so very obvious.Even the very comical ZaSu Pitts is greatly subdued here; she still made those famous gestures of hers with her hands.It's amazing that I always found the Young-Niven pictures to be very bland in nature. Perhaps, they really should have tried great drama together.
