The Gay Divorcee

(1934)

Have I mentioned that I didn't really like this much the first time I saw it? I'd say I was young and couldn't really be expected to know any better, but in fact I was at least 30. Though in my defense, one of my complaints was about the interminable "Continental" production number, transparently thrown in to pad the running time and postpone the obvious resolution of the plot, such as it is, and that is such a legitimate complaint that in fact I am writing this during that number.

Still . . . Just: still . . .
