McCrea's performance in this movie seems to me to be slighted, or taken for granted. He is exactly right for this role. He's such a natural that it seems he's not acting. He has express a broad range, going from a naivete to an emotional maturity that is entirely convincing. He sort of reminds me of James Stewart in It's A Wonderful Life.
@miltsar / Hollywood was rough on actors and actresses back then, especially the ones that came in with problems from the beginning. She had a lot of problems with a show biz mom and bad marriages and things went down hill real fast for her..very sad.
@cleopatrabonz I mentioned my delight with Veronica Lake to a friend who is now living in Southern Cal. He told me that he met her in NYC in the 60's. He was young and new in the city and had been invited to his employers apartment for cocktails. Miss Lake was there and she was very interested in him....a possible "boy toy " before the term was coined. He thought she was a very attractive older woman and he was intruiged by her elegant hands wrapped around the heavy crystal cocktail glass.
A word (?) I rarely use: "Wow"! Unexpected jewell.As to improving equal justice ...2012.Well, "tell old Pharaoh", you know.

great movie, but it doesn't excuse the horrendous filth put out by the likes of Sandler, Tyler Perry and those lowest common denominator fuck-ups.

A wonderful ending to something I thought was a piece of fluff. Imagine being worse off than an african american back then? This was worth watching.

Great film. I took a film class when I was at UCLA years ago. The entire quarter was the study of Preston Sturges films. Thanks!
