Casanova Brown

Doesn't live up to the fun premise. Ended up being more of a soap opera filler plot. Interesting only in its attitude about unwed parents. I'm not sure Gary Cooper was redeemed or just benefitting from mommy brain. Neither of them are suitable parents. Fav scene: burning down the house down to the sticks.

Casanova Brown (1944) is a updated remake of Little Accident (1930), which was a movie I really disliked. This 1944 adaptation was a lot better, but I still felt it was a waste of Gary Cooper star-power.

Nice light comedy starring Gary Cooper.

Enjoyable comedy never builds up enough steam to hit its stride, but does have some amusing set pieces - Cooper's first encounter with his prospective in-laws and Morgan's wonderfully irascible performance are both highlights. Fine, if not especially distinguished.

"The greatest romantic comedy of all time!" WTF?

Wood delivers a bland film here. No Bergman to bring up the film either.
