A Great Chick Flip (2003-06-15)  I really enjoy this movie! It is a very romantic movie. It is perfect for a girls movie night. Franchot Tone has the best part imo. This is not Joan Crawford's best movie but I think everyone else is really good in it. If you are looking for a deep meaning kind of movie this isn't it. If you're are looking for a fun romantic movie this is it.
A MEDIOCRE CRAWFORD COMEDY. (2002-08-30)  This little 1937 flick - which was directed by talented, underrated Dorothy Arzner - found its origins in a play entitled THE GIRL FROM TRIESTE by Ferenc Molnar. The film takes place in the beautiful countryside of Italy and has Crawford play a less-than-virtuous cabaret singer (named Anni) who's been invited by a wealthy aristocrat (George Zucco) to spend a Cinderella-like two weeks at an exclusive resort at Tyrol. Hoping to convince his snobby friends that anyone can appear to be a memeber of the upper crust if provided with the correct trappings, Zucco introduces Crawford as a mysterious socialite, secretly knowing that he will expose her true identity as a common tramp to them at the end of two weeks. At the resort, Crawford plays the role to the hilt, making a gentleman (Robert Young) fall in love with her...Crawford and Tone were married in real life when they filmed this little trifle which boasts beautiful scenery and a fairly entertaining storyline. Crawford once remarked half-seriously: "I'd like to think that all my directors were all a little in love with me - I know Dorothy Arzner was!".
Beautiful scenery, beautiful actors, not-so-good story (1999-05-03) Set in the mountains of Italy, this romantic drama about what can make someone happy stars Joan Crawford, who must decide between a life as a postman's wife with Franchot Tone or a stable, wealthy life with Robert Young. Tone has the best lines, and Young acts very well. Sometimes I got a little confused as to what Crawford was trying to do with her role--who she loved--but that was also part of the plot. A little contrived at times, it dwells heavily on class differences and the inability to change who you are.
