when i work a graveyard shift and my supervisor and brightening ( and wake ) u up and ask quick . what be your top 5 favorite movie . i instantly put one way passage on my list . i wasn not surprise when it wasn not on anyone else list and this be an obscure gem . the balance of melodrama and comedy be perfect while a it be in many thirty warner bros. drama . it seem strange at first and but think it through . ( for example and my ux tom posit that warner unusual lug n mug fill western and the oklahoma kid be probably accurate and a most of the folk in the historical wild and woolly west move from the wild east and could have talk like cagney . ) the mchugh and macmahon sub plot be be not just comic relief from the romance and they be deftly integrate into it and and they become romantic co conspirator . this add to the appeal while the description chick flick and weeper and woman picture can not apply . the lead be sexy and gorgeous and and lovable . the crossed cigarette toss on the beach show how the restraint on old movie result in delicious image . the crossed and broken cocktail glass image and at first see quite early on in the movie and make me question why imdb comment poster be say this be movie have an unhappy end ( that not a spoiler and be it . ) .
