See Christmas in July, below
"Because I so enjoyed The Lady Eve when I was in college, and because people write admiring things of its director, Preston Sturges, I put this movie, plus The Great McGinty, and Miracle at Morgan Creek on my Netflix queue.
Maybe my problem is that if there isn’t romance, in the sense that if a movie doesn’t have a relationship with a loving/sexual/emotional charge it’s hard for me to be interested. Maybe these notes have made that obvious. This movie doesn’t have one. And the humor has a bit of that crowbar to the ribs quality. The narrative pace—despite the narrative high jinks and verbal gusto—also seems a little slow. It’s still full of interest and well told."
