My Review-
I watched this movie in my film class today, and i rather enjoyed it, even if it was made in the 1940s. Also this movie in a way did not take itself to seriously, maybe towards the end of the film but other than that it was mostly for humor and laughs. Unlike yesterday's film this had more of heart and less of the slapstick. It seemed like it was more of the Hollywood humor for back then, taking a look at what Hollywood was like during that time. One of my favorite characters was played by Veronica Lake who was a bombshell back then and I could see why, even though this was the first movie that I watched of her from what I watched she could do comedy pretty well. What made this film work as a comedy for me is that it was not over the top, it was subtle jokes sort of like how we say "BURN" when some one gets told off or gets put in their place. The little gags for the movie worked too and made it funnier then other scenes were. And it shows how one would make a movie within a movie, that made it seem like that is how it worked back then and get down and dirty for researching a film to be made. One of my favorite parts in the movie was when they should some inmates along with the main character Sullivan watching a Pluto cartoon, and how he realizes that laughter helps everyone out and he has found what he was searching for along. This movie is kind of like a comedy with a search of self discovery and appreciting everything that one has, which was what I really liked about this movie.
