★★★★★ · What a great film!!! · kareneliot · 2005-12-14
I think this film has something for everyone. Drama, comedy, intrigue/mystery, romance, a cat fight or two. I love the part when the guy lights one girl's cigarette and not the other girl's cigarette... the girl says to him "So, you couldn't loan me a boy scout and two sticks could you?". It was so quick and dry I almost missed it, great comedic writing/timing!

It's a fun movie. For public domain it's a great movie.
★★★★ · Quite good. · Budro · 2009-06-19
I thought that this was a rather clever movie. The acting was excellent and the leading lady was really beautiful. The ending was a bit corny, but it was in line with movies of that date. But always remember that a Model A Ford was quite a car in its day, although it couldn't possibly match up to my Lincoln Town Car. A worthy film.
★★★★ · A cute screwball comedy/romance · TakerOfFlights · 2005-02-26
A NY magazine editor sends a job offer to an Iowa photographer, and is surprised to find out that Pat is a Patricia instead of a Patrick. He falls for Pat. But Pat is still in love with Ben, who has followed her to NY. What follows are many cases of mistaken identity, some good jokes, and some pleasing crisp writing.
★★★ · For 1945, Not Bad · Dadsweet · 2010-10-19
Good photography -- especially on the night street scenes ... not easy shots to get in those days. The sound and lighting were similarly good. The actors did a good job, and -- alas -- had to stick to the sitcom script. The plot was a bit thin -- even a cliche for its time: Mid western girl goes to the big city in pursuit of man's photo journalism career; possessive boyfriend/fiancee follows her. Even in 1945, the story would have been unsurprising. Even for then, the character changes/developments were much too fast. Wrapping up the story in the last 2 minutes was a bit much and improbable…
★★★ · Mr Tarrock was an absolute space case · Dr Feel Rotten · 2011-01-07
He wants to give every man, woman and child alive a carrot.. What if they're like me with no teeth? Well....then boil it for 20 minutes? I still liked this movie as improbable as it was. ;)
