Featured review
My very favorite movie.
When I watch a movie, I like to laugh, and that's why this is my favorite movie of all time.
It's the only pairing of James Cagney and Bette Davis, and the sparks do fly. You might call this a variation on the theme of "It Happened One Night." James Cagney plays a cargo pilot asked to aid in an elopement that would result in a disastrous marriage for an heiress. Her father offers him payment if he delivers her home unmarried. The ending is predictable, but the journey to it is not. Great fun.
Oh, I know there are so many other "important" and wonderful movies out there. I love a lot of them. But rarely has one tickled and surprised me the way this one did.
Let others favor the big famous movies. I'll take this little gem.
I'm surprised that more people haven't recognized its charm.
