Argumento y comentario:

Una mansión de familia aristócrata, la familia Lord se viste de gala para la inminente segundo matrimonio de la sofisticada y fría heredera Tracy Lord con el acaudalado y pretencioso George Kitteredge. La cosa se complica de forma radical cuando su carismático ex-marido, C.K Dexter Haven, vuelve a aparecerse de pronto trayendo con el a un cínico reportero de prensa rosa llamado Macaulay «Mike» Connor, que está infiltrado para cubrir la exclusiva del evento. En el transcurso de un día y una noche de enredos y excesos alcohólicos, el reportero se enamorará perdidamente de Tracy, forzándola a enfrentarse a sus propios prejuicios, a plantearse su inalcanzable postura ante la vida y descubrir a cuál de los tres hombres ama en verdad.

Comentario: La película brilla de forma eterna gracias a unos diálogos de ritmo milimétrico y punzante ingenio. Supuso además el salvavidas profesional de Katharine Hepburn, quien tras ser declarada «veneno para la taquilla» recuperó el control de su carrera produciendo astutamente la adaptación. La cinta destaca también por otorgar el primer y único premio Óscar de la academia a James Stewart como actor principal. [2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10]

I had a #dream about a #movie last night. A 1970s #ScrewballComedy where a man has a stress-induced heart attack, and his wife and daughter try to run the family business while he's in the hospital. The business is a small soft-drink factory, the daughter is Barbra Streisand, and the movie was called _Fizz_. Alas, the #film doesn't exist, but now I want to see it.

Just Jaeckin’s The Last Romantic Lover (1978) may be his best film. A circus performer enters a contest to find the country's most romantic man. A strange, magical, entrancing, insanely romantic film with hints of screwball comedy.

My review: https://princeplanetmovies.blogspot.com/2024/06/the-last-romantic-lover-1978.html

Here are 10 things you should know about Walter Connolly, born 137 years ago today. Though his Hollywood career lasted just 10 years, he left his mark with strong performances in nearly 50 films. #OldMovies #ClassicMovies #ClassicHollywood #PrecodeMovies #ClassicBroadway #OldTimeRadio #CharacterActors #Vaudeville #ScrewballComedy

I #watched the #film _The Mad Miss Manton_ (1938 US 80m) last night. Returning from a party at 3am, rich socialite Melsa Manton (Barbara Stanwyck) picks up her dogs from her doorman, and takes them for their nightly walk, during which she sees acquaintance Ronny Belden run from an abandoned building and speed away in his car. Curious, she enters and finds a dead body. Running out, her cloak and the brooch that held it snag on a doorway, and she leaves them behind.

When the police arrive, the body and cloak are gone. Given that Manton and her fur-coat clique have had other rich-people interactions with the law, the police consider the call a prank, and the next morning the new young editor of the Clarion, Peter Ames (Henry Fonda), writes an editorial upbraiding Manton. She shows up in his office to sue his paper for libel, and the #ScrewballComedy is off running.

The police investigate in the official manner, Manton and her socialite squad investigate the murder their way (one offers $100 to someone for info; that's $2100 today), and Ames does the same. The two amateur groups have their differences – Ames gets tied up in Belden's apartment, when both groups look it over – before joining forces. And of course this #mystery has its #romance, when Ames decides he must marry Manton, despite his early words to her: "When I met you, I disliked you intensely."

Watching eight wealth thirtyish women, always in evening clothes and fur stoles, investigate a mystery is interesting. The #movie has blackmail, ex-cons, several murders, death threats, false alibis, fast patter, and more. ●●●◐○

Um die Frage zu beantworten: Eigentlich wollte ich nur gratulieren! Happy 125th Birthday, Irene Dunne!
