Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

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.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

mark.waltz The light-hearted comedy intertwined with war drama in Mrs. Miniver gave the idea that the team of Greer Garson could handle screwy situations but after a few dramatic pot-boilers kept their work totally serious. MGM's comedies were a familiar bag of repeats but with teams like Loy and Powell and Hepburn and Tracy, they figured why mess with a successful formula?The situation here is a totally familiar one with larger elements of farce. Garson is estranged from her not so stuffy Pidgeon, working in a music hall show. She gets a letter inviting her to her daughter's wedding and ends up stirring up the pot in delirious confusion. Elizabeth Taylor, on the thresh of stardom, is the bride, and she seems more interested in reconciling her parents than her own fiancé. Along comes dashing Peter Lawford to stir up more confusion, and eventually the forgotten feelings of her parents emerge.Encounters with tamed seals and bears, a truly hideous music hall number and Garson's flight into a torrential downpour add on to interference by Lucile Watson as Pigeon's imperious mother and Cesar Romero and Nigel Bruce as admirers of Garson's do as well. Pretty silly going, there is never any doubt how this will play out. If it wasn't for the professional cast and tight direction by Jack Conway, this certainly would be more of a misfire.

abcj-2 I adore this nutty little film. I love Garson, Pidgeon, Taylor, and Lawford in almost any movie and particularly teamed together. Cesar Romero also adds flavor in a comedic supporting role. I enjoy classic and screwball comedies and have a long list made of those (this one is on it). Is this the best of the best? No, but it's fun and well made. That's a prerequisite for my list. I own it and still watch it each time it comes on TCM. Elizabeth Taylor, as the mutual daughter and young bride, is so young and lovely. She still has an innocence to her performance at this stage that I enjoy. Peter Lawford is young, suave, and cocky. Walter Pidgeon is typical Walter Pidgeon. But it's Greer Garson's movie and in it she shines. She produces screwball romantic comedy antics worthy of Irene Dunne or Jean Arthur. This is a must see for Garson fans. I highly recommend it to fans of any of the cast or of the genre. It's not perfect, but it sure entertains. And isn't that the point?

daryl42 Greer long wanted to do a comedy and finally got her chance. This one misfires frequently, the jokes just don't quite hit and the ending is really lacking.But there are reasons to see this one. Greer doing the acrobat number is worth the price of admission; getting over on Nigel Bruce is lots of fun; some witty scenes with Ceasar Romero are probably the best in the film.Not her best, not her worst. But she looks beautiful in this one.

Pat-54 Greer Garson had not appeared in a comedy since the ill-fated "Remember?" in 1939. So M-G-M cast her and her most famous screen partner, Walter Pidgeon, in this, their first (and last) comedy. The only thing worth noting about this film was that Elizabeth Taylor, (then 16 years old) received her first screen-kiss from Peter Lawford in one of the more interesting scenes.
