Yes odd, isn't it? The many fans of
It Happened One Night
should queue this up, along with
Broadway Bill
(1934),
Lady for a Day
(1933),
The Bitter Tea of General Yen
(1933),
American Madness
(1932),
The Miracle Woman
(1931),
Ladies of Leisure
(1930) and
The Strong Man
(1926).
As far as I know, of these only
Platinum Blonde
,
Lady for a Day
,
Broadway Bill
and
The Strong Man
are currently offered separately on DVD. (
American Madness
is available as part of a boxed set of mostly better-known Capra films.) Wire Congress! -

I agree. My girl and I just caught this flick on TCM today and what a great suprise gem of a movie? Boy do I love TCM and IFC. They have turned me on to countless great films. Platinum Blonde had a great script and great performances from a great cast.

wow..
This is a remarkably dull film. It's a really a story of nothing. Nothing happens in this film, well, a reporter gets marriedisn't that exciting?
Oh yeah, there's a bunch of uninspired ad-libs and silly quips.
Seeing an early Harlow is cool but that's about it. Robert Williams reminds me of Alan Alda doing his Hawkeye Pierce MAS*H character. Now that's not bad, just kind of odd.

The putter conversation between Smith and Smythe is classic
I loved the reading of Bobo's letters to Babykins - most hilarious scene!
I give my respect to those who have earned it; to everyone else, I'm civil.
