Even Bed Making Can Be Funny
27 June 2023
This movie is the way romantic comedy should be. Eleanor Parker is brilliant. The war time setting reminds us the fight is to keep love and family at the forefront. This movie made me a fan of hers. I've watched it many times, and it never gets old. Even if I don't watch it as much as I used to. One of Ronald Reagan's best performances. Eve Arden shows why she's revered as a comedic actress. Wayne Morris was put to better use later in Westerns. Kent Smith makes the most of his limited screen time. What's great about the film is its innocence. It's more wholesome than the stage version. Thank you Hayes Code. Hollywood declined without it. This movie shows how romance should be, and there's ample laughs, too. Great use of the telephone, too.
