Ironically, this set-up leads her to meet the love of her life &#8212; a chivalrous French headwaiter (Charles Boyer) who intervenes and whisks her away to his restaurant, where he wines and dines her with assistance from his loyal chef-buddy, Cesare (Leo Carrillo). However, Clive&#8217;s jealous clutches remain so strong that Arthur is unable to get away, and she and Boyer are temporarily separated &#8212; though Boyer will do whatever he can to find her again.\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>\n<strong>Genres, Themes, Actors, and Directors:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Charles Boyer Films<\/li>\n<li>Colin Clive Films<\/li>\n<li>Frank Borzage Films<\/li>\n<li>Jealousy<\/li>\n<li>Jean Arthur Films<\/li>\n<li>Star-Crossed Lovers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Review: <\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Frank_Borzage\">Frank Borzage<\/a> directed this unabashedly romantic tale of star-crossed lovers determined to reunite. Arthur has never been lovelier (her performance is typically stellar), and Boyer taps into his most appealing romantic-lead strengths as her ardent pursuer. Less impressive &#8212; though arguably well-cast &#8212; is Colin Clive (in his final role before dying from tuberculosis at just 37 years old) as Arthur&#8217;s husband-from-hell. Clive&#8217;s &#8220;Bruce Vail&#8221; is a stereotypically vile baddie; while we certainly believe he&#8217;s vindictive enough to stop at nothing to prevent his wife from leaving him, a bit more nuance would have strengthened his characterization. Also distracting is the comic-relief role played by Leo Carrillo as Boyer&#8217;s conveniently loyal buddy &#8212; an Italian with a Chico Marx accent (working in a top French restaurant!?) who literally drops everything time and again to help out his friend; a running joke about his famous lobster dish and salad feels stale from the get-go. With that said, this remains classic Hollywood soaper material, served up with visual panache by director Frank Borzage (channeling Ernst Lubitsch) and cinematographer David Abel. It possesses a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0029002\/board\/thread\/182668787\">small but solid fan base<\/a>, who value Boyer and Arthur&#8217;s romantic chemistry and Clive&#8217;s unrepentant villainy. Despite its flaws, this one&#8217;s worth a one-time look if you can catch it.    <\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> Reading a bit more about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allmovie.com\/artist\/frank-borzage-p82529\">Borzage&#8217;s background<\/a>, I found myself wondering if Carrillo&#8217;s accent was an homage of some kind to Borzage&#8217;s Italian-speaking stonemason dad? I was also glad to finally be informed that his name is pronounced &#8220;bor-ZAY-gee&#8221; rather than rhyming with &#8220;corsage&#8221;.    <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jean Arthur as Irene Vail<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/More-the-Merrier-Arthur2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/More-the-Merrier-Arthur2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-33135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/More-the-Merrier-Arthur2.png 720w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/More-the-Merrier-Arthur2-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/More-the-Merrier-Arthur2-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Charles Boyer as Paul Dumond<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/More-the-Merrier-Boyer.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/More-the-Merrier-Boyer.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-33130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/More-the-Merrier-Boyer.png 720w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/More-the-Merrier-Boyer-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/More-the-Merrier-Boyer-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Fine cinematography and direction<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/More-the-Merrier-Cinematography.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/More-the-Merrier-Cinematography.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-33131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/More-the-Merrier-Cinematography.png 720w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/More-the-Merrier-Cinematography-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/More-the-Merrier-Cinematography-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/More-the-Merrier-Cinematography2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/More-the-Merrier-Cinematography2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-33132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/More-the-Merrier-Cinematography2.png 720w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/More-the-Merrier-Cinematography2-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/More-the-Merrier-Cinematography2-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo, though it&#8217;s certainly recommended. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0029002\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.allmovie.com\/movie\/history-is-made-at-night-v22566\">All Movie Guide Review (major spoiler alert!)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.timeout.com\/london\/film\/history-is-made-at-night-1937\">Time Out Capsule Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t know then &#8212; he hates everybody, mostly himself.&#8221; Synopsis: A sociopathically controlling millionaire (Colin Clive) refuses to allow his wife (Jean Arthur) a divorce, attempting to blackmail her by putting her in a compromising situation with her chauffeur (Ivan Lebedeff).
