“One step more and we should call it slapstick; one step to the side and it would have been farce” (NY Times). In other words: Thirties screwball. William Seiter walks the line with great skill and balance in this bouyant comedy for which Dorothy Parker contributed the “additional dialogue” (rewrite). Margaret Sullavan is the haughty, bratty Hollywood star with a Fifth Avenue upbringing who holds no one in more contempt than famous novelist Henry Fonda, a writer of travel stories. For him, the feeling is mutual, though they have never met. When they do, they are both incognito and the inevitable happens--in love-hate romance of the Thirties screwball comedy. Of course one of the most enjoyable things about these comedies is their character actors; here they are three Bs: Walter Brennan, Charles Butterworth and Beulah Bondi.
