One of my ten most wanted WB DVD upgrades!

domino harvey wrote: Wed Dec 28, 2011 10:41 pm Random Harvest A well-crafted and handsome film that will drive the plot-obsessed mad but treat the rest of us more kindly, this is yet another strong nominee from one of the Academy's best years. Released in any other year, Garson would've been a Best Actress shoo-in for playing The Greer Garson role (too bad she was already nominated and would win this year for her best variation on the part). This is really Ronald Colman’s movie though, and he walks away with it, particularly in the first act when his shell-shocked amnesiac can barely spit out a sentence. The look of sadness on his face, like a neglected puppy, sells it all.

” I want to live in a world where the song come true” Arthur Parker says. In that world, bank tellers would eagerly hand out sacks of Depression-era dough to him, ever cloud would have a silver lining and Arthur’s loveless marriage to Joan would give way to boop boop-a-doop bliss with passionate Eileen. Steve Martin, Bernadette Peters, and Jessica Harper form the triangle of this razzle-dazzler in which lip-synched 1930s songs contrast with characters’ lives. Herbert Ross directed Dennis Potter’s big-screen adaptation of his landmark BBC TV miniseries, filming on sets that recreate Depression-era artwork and bring a savvy touch to vibrant musical numbers. See Christopher Walken strip to Let’s Misbehave. Fall under the spell of a Martin/Peters homage to Astaire and Rogers. Every penny is on the screen and looks like a million.
