No Time for Comedy

I love James Stewart and Rosalind Russell - BUT the writers in this movie did a poor job in making this movie interesting. The story lines were weak and the plot had no direction.

this tale is about a man from Utah, who wrote a play that makes it to the big stage on Broadway. Stewart is the author who is told to try a new style. Russell is the wife who tells him to stick with what he's done. Many twist and turns by the time it ends, what does he do? get the movie and find out. I buy films based a lot on the actress, being male, I guess I gear toward female star power. However I am seldom disappointed with films with James Stewart (or Cary Grant_

Loved this vintage movie! Love Jimmy Stewart and Rosalind Russell. The customer service provided was great. We all enjoyed watching the movie. Again, many thanks for making the movie available.

Classic.

Stewart the cad? This movie is a weird one that doesn't know whether to be comedy, romance, or drama. Stewart seems likely a perfect fit for the folksy first time playwright but turns out miscast really as the movie spins off in a odd directions. Russell is always good as she moves effortlessly from serious to funny, but the film misses. The end seems tacked on and the pacing is slow, then fast, then slow again. Just odd.

Jimmy Stewart plays a sort of Neil Simon type playwright with Rosalind Russell as his wife, comes to a conclusion that his comedies are too lightweight. He changes his direction and starts writing serious plays which also turns out to be boring. The film was directed by William Keighley and good performances of Jimmy Stewart, Rosalind Russell, Genevieve Tobin and Charles Ruggles turned this into a delightful film to watch.

Is this a comedy? If it is, it is silly, unfunny and very boring. The two leading stars are wasted. Stewart gets on your nerves. Only Louise Beavers and Charles Ruggles save the movie from total disaster.

James Stewart as a playwright should be the germ of a good idea for a film, but that's all it is in this film. His character is despicable and naive, and the romance between him and Rosalind Russell lacks credibility. There is no comedy in this film and I can see why it hasn't stood the test of time.

Excellent
