The Talk of the Town
(1942)
I kept thinking throughout this, "If only Frank Capra had directed this, it would have been spectacular instead of only very good."
OK, problem: do you believe Cary Grant as a Bolshevik on trial for capital arson? No, me neither. John Garfield might have been better casting--though then we'd have lost the fun of having Cary play against Jean Arthur, who is perfectly cast, but again, in need of Capra.
