I wanted to but couldn't!

Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

This very, very insignificant and rather poorly written film apparently helped to launch Lana Turner to stardom. And, as I read through the reviews, I notice that they are all either mediocre or very positive. Well, despite popular opinion, I can't understand any of this as I thought the film was rather stupid and very poorly written. Turner and her co-stars are fine...but the writing was just terrible.When the film begins, a manager in a department store (Robert Young) gets into an argument with an employee (Turner). Soon, when the woman decides inexplicably to disappear and re-invent herself, folks automatically assume she killed herself and HE was responsible. This didn't make sense...and he was soon fired from his job. And, he was determined to track her down and prove to everyone she's alive.In the meantime, through some ridiculous circumstances, she gets into an accident involving paint and she comes up with the idea of pretending she has amnesia. Why? I have no idea whatsoever... Soon, she decides to pretend that she is some long-lost heiress...again, I have no idea why. When her supposed father, the rich guy (Walter Brennan) arrives, she is able to fake her way into getting him to believe she is his long-lost daughter. None of this makes any sense and it also shows Turner's character to be a horrible person...just awful, cruel and conniving.So how is any of this funny or believable?! Well, none of it is and the overall film comes off as very forced and unfunny. And, to make it worse, the ending is god-awful! I have no idea why folks like it...I simply hated it and felt that the average Poverty Row studio made better films than this crappy movie.

I liked this movie so much.Lana Turner was gorgeously cute and it was a very charming comedy in my opinion.Lana played Peggy Evans a store soda jerk in a New York department store. At the beginning of the movie she is given a merit certificate for being on time for a 1000 days straight. She feels that there is something more for her out in the world. So with a new look and a new name she is walking to the New York Star when disaster strikes - she is hit in the head with a bucket of paint. When she awakes people think she has amnesia and even though she hasn't - she goes along with it.Lana Turner was a much better actress than she was given credit for and really excelled in these frothy comedies.A very funny sequence at the start of the movie has Lana say "I can do this job blindfolded" and proceeds to make a banana split that way. This is what causes all the trouble in the first place.Robert Young is also in it as Bob Stuart, her boss at the department store and the only one who knows her secret. I movie I would recommend.

This movie has certainly "grown" on me. There are very few weak parts in it. Even the extras are outstanding. There is both social and moral content. Lana Turner's character grows up and my, what a thinker she is. And so is the persistent Robert Young. Everyone wins. This is what I consider a feel good movie. I also loved both the band music and the opera scene music. If you like Walter Brennan and Dame Mae Witty, you'll have to love them in this movie. Alan Mowbray has a good bit part. I love seeing Eugene Palette manage something without goofing it up. Even he sparkles. And I've become a fan of Jimmy Conlin who plays the role of the bartender.

I've seen this a hundred times, at least. Lana is at her best..absolutely adorable-before the hard edge sets in. Robert Young is good, as always, and you can't beat the old-time character actors for rounding out a good cast. Pure escapist entertainment...no filthy language or situations. I wish it were available on video- it's a ke
