Liebe im Handumdrehen (1935)

Liebe im Handumdrehen: Directed by Mitchell Leisen. With Carole Lombard, Fred MacMurray, Ralph Bellamy, Astrid Allwyn. A loafer and a manicurist, both planning to marry money, meet and form an uneasy alliance.

“Watching Carole Lombard makes the whole film worth seeing, but it is not an otherwise pleasant experience.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere are touches one must see, such as the expression on the face of Peter, butler to Allen Macklin, as the manicurist departs. That should reach the heart of any empathetic viewer.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRalph Bellamy has one of his best roles, though itu0026#39;s a thankless one.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFred MacMurray looked great and his character could have been likable, except he really isnu0026#39;t — at least to me.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSeeing Marie Prevost in her role as Nona was rather shocking, at least to one who had seen her as u0026quot;The Godless Girl.u0026quot; She showed she had a lot of talent for character roles.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWatch it, sure, but be prepared to be disappointed in the movie as a whole. Director Leisen has done better, much better.”
