Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe original ending of the movie just had Mary Grey leaving the Borden House, walking down Fifth Avenue, but the sneak preview audience complained at what it considered an unhappy ending. So the ending was changed to its current form, which essentially made it more palatable.
- GoofsWhen Mrs. Borden walks toward her daughter after consulting with Dr. Kessler, the daughter has her arms in front of her with the hands interlocked. But on the following cut, the arms are now behind her with the hands interlocked.
- Quotes
Mr. Borden: Well, Michael, there seems to be a touch of spring in the air.
Mike: Yes sir, that's something even the poor people can enjoy.
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits are on street-sign like sign boards attached to the street light posts in New York City.
Featured review
Stolen By A Tiny Bit From Jack Carson
For some reason, this doesn't really work. It has a sensational cast. It's part fairy tale, part socio-political commentary, and mostly a romantic comedy.
The romance comes late, though, and seems slightly tacked on/.
Out-of-work Ginger Rogers meets mogul Walter Connolly In Central Park. He's gone there to look at the seals with his butler Franklin Pangborn; and right here something seems a little forced and improbable.
Rogers is a sort of tabula rasa who helps Connolly get back together with his wife -- amusingly played by Veree Teasdale. She also heaps his uninterestingly played daughter break down social barriers to get together with family chauffeur and would-be Socialist, hunky James Ellison. And she helps his son Tim Holt settle down and, as we of course knew she would, gets together with him at the end.
She is like the Terence Stamp character in Pasolini's fascinating "Teorema" almost 30 years later and like Michael York in the thoroughly disagreeable, arch "Something For Everyone" of approximately that same time. Both those characters are overtly sexual, though Rogers is decently not so here, beginning and ending the movie eating an apple. (Eve she is not. More like her Sue-Sue character from "The Major and The Minor.") It's kind of funny and kind of not very funny.
When she and Holt revisit the park bench where she met his father, Jack Carson, playing a Navy man on leave, sits beside them with his lady friend and sings a delightful chanty about temptresses. It's the best I've ever seen him and it's a breath of fresh air and believability for this movie.
