Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Very best movie i ever watch

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Another enjoyable Maisie movie starring Ann Sothern. This time around Maisie tries to help a young boxer (Robert Sterling, Sothern's future husband) and winds up falling for his jerk of a manager (George Murphy). Why does Maisie always seem attracted to pigs? The old cliché of the guy who is rude to everyone around him and has very particular opinions about women but, gosh darn it, he's "all man" and our heroine just can't help but go weak in the knees when he gives her the slightest bit of attention. One of my pet peeves with this series is that guys like this are always treating Maisie like she's garbage and she always falls for them.Anyway, it's a decent entry in the series. The subplot about the boxer wanting to open a grocery store amused me. Virginia O'Brien has one of her weird comedy singing numbers. Natalie Thompson makes the most of a minor part as Sterling's girlfriend who has a healthy appetite. Sterling does fine, even in the more challenging dramatic parts. Sothern is perfect, as always. The biggest flaw in the cast is charmless George Murphy, whose lack of charisma makes it impossible to find anything likable about his ogre of a character.

I have seen many of the Maisie films, and this one was another pleasant entry into the series.When I watched the first Maisie film, I felt like I was watching Jean Harlow. I later learned that the Maisie character was intended for Jean; however I enjoyed Ann Sothern's performance as the sassy character.Ann does a great job showing that a woman could handle herself in every situation and always land on her feet. She is smart, sexy, and savvy.I am so grateful to TCM for showing these films, so that I can get the chance to see them for the first time.

Ann Sothern is delightful in her Maisie roles (and in virtually everything she did.) This is an especially charming entry in the series.It has a few small problems that can be attributed to its time. The flouncy desk clerk is one, but prissy, effeminate desk clerks were a staple of movies for a couple decades. (Alas.) In a way, the notion that prize fighter Robert Sterling would rather die than continue his life as a blind person is dated, too. But this movie is generally good with disabilities. People are still terrified of blindness, though more is known about it now; and the character of Sterling's mother is in a wheelchair and not treated in at all a condescending fashion.The idea that a smart, pretty, self-sufficient woman like Sothern's Maisie would chose the (to me) thoroughly unappealing George Murphy over the tender character played by the very handsome Robert Sterling is kind of laughable. And apparently the offscreen Sothern felt that way too, since she and Sterling were married two years after this picture's release.

This is a enjoyable, fun, moving movie. Ann Sothern is one of my favorite actresses, she could do anything, sing, dance, act, and be funny. She should of became a bigger star, she should of made it in the 1930s, she had the screen image of women who were in the movies at the time, she could of been up with Jean Harlow, Kay Francis, Constance Bennett, Carole Lombard, Myrna Loy, Norma Shearer, Glenda Farrell, Joan Blondell. She had their kind of talent and screen presence which was popular in the 1930s, but they had too many women like that and besides Ann Sothern became popular around the mid-1930s, when movies and women were changing on screen, and that kind of acting style women did in the 1930s wasn't popular in the 1940s. Maybe if Ann would of came around and became popular in the early 1930s, maybe she would of been a bigger star. But who cares she made it. But Ann Sothern remain well-known and popular in the 1940s, and is very watchable. MGM should of made her a bigger star. She's beautiful in this movie. The funniest, memorable scene is the beginning of the movie, Ann Sothern is dancing with a guy, their doing the dances of the time, Ann is really getting down, its actually funny how the guy spins and kicks around her while their fast dancing. You have to see it. She switches from comedy to drama beautifully. Ann really takes your breath away in this movie right along with dashing George Murphy and Robert Sterling. Seeing Robert discover that he's blind will make tears come in your eyes. Beautiful Virigina O'Brien is always a delight. like Turner Classic Movies shows it from time to time. Try to catch it.
