His review sums up many of the film&#8217;s problems: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The clever script has far too many climaxes, and starts off with comedy so unsteady that even pro Jean Arthur, running around in her pajamas all morning, has a hard time keeping things in balance. When they get into the meat of the story, the authors seem to be saying that good liberal thinking in this country (Colman) has to warm up to human needs if it expects to counter the avarice of landlords, factory owners and crooked politicians. In other words, there&#8217;s no right or left, just Corrupt and Noble, and the Noble better get off their podiums and into the trenches to fight for what&#8217;s right, or America is in trouble. It sounds great, but the end result is a little thin.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Indeed, the screenplay sets these characters up so predictably that all that&#8217;s left is a sense of curiosity about who Arthur will choose as her romantic partner &#8212; something apparently even the screenwriters themselves were uncertain about (two endings were filmed, and audience reactions helped to make the final choice). <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Talk-of-the-Town-Triangle.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Talk-of-the-Town-Triangle-1024x644.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"403\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-54143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Talk-of-the-Town-Triangle-1024x644.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Talk-of-the-Town-Triangle-300x189.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Talk-of-the-Town-Triangle-128x80.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Talk-of-the-Town-Triangle-768x483.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Talk-of-the-Town-Triangle-1536x966.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Talk-of-the-Town-Triangle-430x270.png 430w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Talk-of-the-Town-Triangle.png 1637w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Rex Ingram is given a thankless role as Colman&#8217;s loyal butler, shedding a long, slow tear for him when he decides to shave off his beard (?!); it&#8217;s small comfort that, as Savant writes, &#8220;He&#8217;s not used for a single laugh, which is very progressive for a 1942 picture.&#8221; Okay &#8212; but this is a long stretch down from his memorable, larger-than-life role in <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=46264\"><em>The Thief of Bagdad<\/em> (1940)<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Talk-of-the-Town-Ingram.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Talk-of-the-Town-Ingram-1024x645.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"403\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-54142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Talk-of-the-Town-Ingram-1024x645.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Talk-of-the-Town-Ingram-300x189.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Talk-of-the-Town-Ingram-128x81.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Talk-of-the-Town-Ingram-768x484.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Talk-of-the-Town-Ingram-1536x968.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Talk-of-the-Town-Ingram-429x270.png 429w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Talk-of-the-Town-Ingram.png 1605w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ted Tetzlaff&#8217;s cinematography<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Talk-of-the-Town-Cinematography.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Talk-of-the-Town-Cinematography-1024x621.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"388\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-54144\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Talk-of-the-Town-Cinematography-1024x621.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Talk-of-the-Town-Cinematography-300x182.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Talk-of-the-Town-Cinematography-128x78.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Talk-of-the-Town-Cinematography-768x466.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Talk-of-the-Town-Cinematography-1536x932.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Talk-of-the-Town-Cinematography-445x270.png 445w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Talk-of-the-Town-Cinematography.png 1673w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See?
