TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Tockinit not horrible nor great
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
bkoganbing Under two identities, one while suffering from amnesia Dennis Morgan marries two different women, Shirley Ross while himself and her cousin Jane Wyatt who Morgan meets while he's got amnesia. The circumstances for this bizarre occurrence I'll leave unsaid but it's both tragic and hilarious at the same time. Ross in fact thinks he's dead and is ready to marry stodgy Jerome Cowan.When Wyatt gets an invitation to her cousin's wedding you can imagine how unsettling this all is. Especially since Morgan does not know who he is.I'm in agreement that of course someone like Cary Grant or William Powell could have handled this better than Dennis Morgan, but Morgan does OK with it. Jerome Cowan is also all right in what would be the Ralph Bellamy role. Best in the film is Una O'Connor who gets all her information and advice for living from ye old Ouija Board. There's a bit role for young Cornel Wilde in Kisses For Breakfast.A nice comedy from Warner Brothers B picture unit.
David (Handlinghandel) That dreadful casting error is only one of many. Cowan was a good character actor and perfectly adequate as a lead in mysteries. But his comic timing, at least based on this horrible mess, did not exist. He also looks terrible, with a very noticeable double chin.Shirley Ross is exceptionally unappealing as the first of two women Dennis Morgan marries. She overacts and is generally thoroughly disagreeable.Morgan is shown in a lot of beefcake shots. And he was a handsome man. He's fine here, though I personally could do without his singing.Jane Wyaatt is pretty and sweet as Ross's Southern cousin, whom he marries while he has amnesia.One of the few amusing bits is a bum's looking at a billboard and giving Morgan, who has no memory of who he is, the name F.H.A. Homes. (He is later called Happy.) One of the very least appealing is the shower that first makes Wyatt and Morgan, later Ross, appear in blackface.
ccmiller1492 This risque farce in the screwball comedy vein delivers loads of laughs. Newlywed Dennis Morgan suffers a bout of amnesia on the verge of his honeymoon trip and winds up marrying a second wife while still unknowingly married to his first! The intrepid first wife eventually tracks him down, inserting herself into a manic menage a trois while persistently competing for her conjugal rights. Don't miss the glorious pillow fight erupting in a roomful of flying feathers as each wife surreptitiously tries to slip into bed with Dennis. And the fateful shower of oil when wife #1 switches the bathroom water pipe to the fuel line in the basement is a scream. Altogether a delightfully zany romp.
Icehands This is an "A" script with a "B" cast. Except for Jerome Cowan, Lee Patrick and Una O'Connor, the cast is not worthy of the material which is quite witty. I can imagine Jimmy Stewart, Rosiland Russell and Carole Lombard in the major parts. Then it would have been a classic.
