VHS Movie Reviews of Boy Meets Girl [VHS]

Movie Review: A FUNNY VINTAGE COMEDY WITH GREAT STAR CHEMISTRY
Summary: 5 Stars

Two crazy Hollywood scenerio writers make a star of an infant yet unborn. Robert Law (Jimmy) and J.C. Benson (Pat O'Brien) - two Hollywood screenwriters, are assigned to write a story for cowboy star Larry Toms, but nothing they write remotely pleases C. Elliott Friday (Ralph Bellamy) a pious Hollywood producer. As they argue, Susie, a divorced waitress (played by the elusive Marie Wilson) delivers lunch. Inspired by her pregnancy, the boys decide to do a Western variation of the classic Hollywood story: Boy meets girl, Boy loses Girl, Boy gets Girl. Larry protests, but Friday likes the story...Bella and Samuel Spewack copped the 1936 Roi Cooper Megrue Award for their play BOY MEETS GIRL. Because the character of Susie was unwed in the play, the movie version was understandably white-washed for the censor's approval - which ironically dismayed many critics. Marion Davies was considered for the lead, but W.R. Hearst was adamant: it was too risque for her image, he felt. Davies was a well-loved person in real life: all the stars loved her unaffected personality and generousity. But considering that she was Hearst's mistress - this revelation is rather hypocritical, don't you think? At any rate, this is a free-wheeling film version of a hilarious play: a fine satire of the zaniness of Hollywood's screwball comedies, which should please most everyone interested.
