So ein Papa (1944)

So ein Papa: Directed by Sam Wood. With Gary Cooper, Teresa Wright, Frank Morgan, Anita Louise. In this hilarious romantic comedy, Gary Cooper gets a lesson in diapers and formula after stealing his child from his ex-wife (Teresa Wright), who had plans to give it up for adoption

“This u0026quot;screwy comedyu0026quot; seems very forced. Indeed, the actors TRY very hard to make a go of an essentially unfunny script. And, as a result it doesnu0026#39;t really go anywhere. The idea of a woman finding out she was pregnant after getting a quickie divorce just isnu0026#39;t all that funny. And then, when Cooper sneaks off with the baby because he doesnu0026#39;t want it put up for adoption just seems terribly unfunny and itu0026#39;s really pushing hard to turn this into a comedy. Itu0026#39;s really a shame, too, as the actors were more capable than the script and I found myself just bored by the whole mess. Considering that Cooper made so many GOOD comedies, I recommend you see them instead.”
