| Sparkling performance by George Brent
Ever read George Brent's bio? He fled Ireland with a price on his head. It was reputed that he was a member of the IRA Active Service Unit, though he claimed he was simply a courier for Michael Collins. Dashing background, eh? More than his character here, the foreman of the team building the Golden Gate Bridge (more dashing glamor). But in this humble role, Brent positively shines as a comedic talent. Romancing Kay Francis, and fending off protection racketeers, he flies through the movie with apparent ease, making acting as they say "look easy." The scene when he takes Francis out for a date, and ends up chaperoning around four mail order brides and an unwed mother is hilarious -- his double takes are marvelous. One day, Warner will release this, and a new generation can appreciate George Brent.

Trivia

A bizarre item connected with this film is that a night shot of a cityscape including a movie marquee advertising "Kay Francis in Stranded" has turned up on public transportation upholstery in the Czech Republic - the fabric has the image backwards, but the marquee is still readable. Makes a nice movie buff bus commute.
