Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

mark.waltz This forgotten screwball comedy is overlooked because of a certain dance partner that Ms. Rogers was dancing with at the same time, taking her to the top of the box-office charts. Here, she plays a paranoid movie star who disguises herself with over-sized buck teeth, a dark wig and glasses to hide from the public. You can't hide beauty, however, and it is easy to spot that this disguise is a phony. It doesn't take long for people-shy bird watcher George Brent to find out her true identity when he agrees to take her to his cabin in the mountains for a rest. Brent, the popular leading man of practically every leading lady of the 1930's and 40's, is always likable, if not remarkable. Yet, his list of leading ladies consists of women so popular all you need to hear is their last names to know exactly who they are: Stanwyck, Davis, Francis, Oberon, Blondell, Colbert, Arthur, Loy, and Sheridan, to name just a few. Rogers shows great comic spunk here, finally an "A" star after several years of "B" leads and supporting roles in "A's" like "42nd Street' and "Gold Diggers of 1933". She proves she doesn't need that dancer named Mr. Astaire to hold onto a movie, and gets Astaire's choreographer, to handle her one dance number where she uses strings to hold onto each of the male dancers she moves around a nightclub set with.The storyline is a bit preposterous, typical for many screwball comedies of the mid 30's, but fun. Alan Mowbray is the hammy movie star meant to represent Rogers' leading man (overstuffed and full of himself). The songs by Dorothy Fields and Oscar Levant are adequate, but the musical numbers is one of Ginger's best sans Fred, even without high heels or moving backwards.

MartinHafer If you'd like a decent time passer with a few good moments, then IN PERSON is a pretty good bet. It's highly reminiscent of a later Astaire-Rogers film, CAREFREE, though not nearly as charming. Like CAREFREE, the main theme is psychiatry, though with IN PERSON, Ginger isn't faking a mental illness to get a man, in the story she really did have a nervous breakdown. The film begins after she's apparently cured and how she meets George Brent is one of the strangest and most contrived meetings in film history, as she looks initially like the Elephant Man walking down the street and underneath the hood, she's wearing a ridiculous disguise--all as a part of her treatment(?) for agoraphobia! Apparently, she is playing a famous actress (a big stretch) who is suddenly afraid of people--hence the goofy disguises.The rest of the film is essentially a "boy meets girl and hates girl but by the end they are in love" sort of film--very, very predictable but also kind of cute in a rather absurd way. Frankly, George Brent and Ginger Rogers were better than this material, but since they are such pleasant personalities, it manages to work--though I agree with Arthur Hausner's review when he describes the film as "forced".

Mary22153 "In Person" with Ginger Rogers and George Brent is a sweet gem of a movie. Having never heard of this film I felt very lucky to come across it while channel surfing. However, I did miss the last half hour due to an obligation. I found the movie to be surprisingly charming even though somewhat predictable. This is very early Ginger in full flavor. George Brent plays the perfect leading man.A beautiful famous actress assumes a plain Jane disguise while she seeks treatment for her fear of crowds. The handsome playboy is the reluctant "just what the doctor ordered". To her dismay, she believes he is falling for plain Jane, while she is falling for him.

Arthur Hausner The funniest thing about this movie is Ginger Rogers' disguise: buck teeth and glasses, reminding me of Jerry Lewis in The Nutty Professor (1963). She's a famous actress who got a bad case of agoraphobia when she was mobbed by adoring fans. To get away, she practically invites herself to go with George Brent to a mountain cabin retreat after she overhears that he was going there. Once there the comedy is predictable and routine. You do get to hear Rogers sing three songs and do a neat tap dance, all very enjoyable, but not enough to make up for the flat script.
