Of the many "forgotten" films this gem of a screwball comedy deserves resurrection more than most. Produced by an obscure organization (Producers Releasing Corporation) and written and directed by Christy Cabanne (who?), it is a combination of the elements of IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT and MY MAN GODFREY but with an entirely original twist in that the identify of our leading man and lady are unknown to each other for most of the film. Indeed we don't know who she is until half way through and we don't learn his identity until the end - with rumor and innuendo rampant throughout. Cabanne directs the leads (B players Kay Aldridge - who bears an uncanny resemblance to Stockard Channing - and Dave O'Brien) with flair - they are bright, full of personality and their chemistry is marvelous. The film is peopled with fine character actors - Walter Catlett as a befuddled butler; Isabel Randolph as an exasperated matron; Ruth Lee as a wisecracking aunt and Nancy Robinson as an obnoxious brat of a younger sister. This is sheer delight from start to finish. Its 71 minutes fly by. Although deserving of an Oscar nom for Original Story, the only nod the Academy gave it was one for Original Score (sprightly and humorously orchestrated but rather brief).
