    • Quotes

      Mary Martin: Are you ever serious about anything?

      Tom Mannering Jr.: No, what is there to be serious about? The income tax? Tonsils? The decline of the white race?

      [Potter, the butler enters]

      Tom Mannering Jr.: Of course there's always sex. How do feel about sex, Potter? Or, uh... do you?

      Potter - Tom's Butler: At this hour of the night, sir? It would be almost impossible to know.

    Loretta was Never Lovlier
    This Review is worth an 11 for the gowns, 8 for the rest. Loretta in Adrian's clothes was a knockout...I have seen this movie twice on that wonderful TCM and that beaded skullcap hat still makes me marvel...it takes a pretty face to pull that one off. Story is interesting enough but the actors were really perfect for this big little movie. Ricardo Cortez was at his sexy handsome smarmiest..Franchot Tone was at his great kind, rich and wimpiest and sweet Loretta held the whole shebang together and I cannot imagine anyone thinking/saying she wasn't right for the part. Plus, if clothes make the man then clothes really make the woman... Now about the story...Loretta of got a few bum raps along the way, love, etc., but wait, just spend 75 minutes and judge for yourself.
