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
A funny, timeless thinking person's movie.
The first time I watched this movie, I thought it was just okay. The second time it was pretty good, and after the third time it was very good. The story has so many setup concepts that it is easy to miss them the first few times one watches it. Gregory La Cava is one of the all time great directors. La Cava is probably one of the few directors to shoot movies in the sequence of the story rather than in planned location setups. It cost the studio more money, but it enabled the cast to give better performances, as it seemed to them they were doing a play instead of a movie. The comments in the movie about communism, capitalism, sexual mores, factory workers and almost any other facet of society are timeless. We all have the same problems and feelings now and probably will in the next century. And along with all the "thinking" the movie is very funny and has a lot of low key but erotic sexual tension. P.S. The movies of "A Star is Born," were based somewhat on La Cava's life. The very first version of "A Star is Born," was called "What Price Hollywood."
