Performances SPARKLED! And Who Else Loved Leona Maricle?

I saw this movie only recently, and was wowed! I always loved Ida Lupino--she just leaps right off the screen. All the performances were great, although, IMO, Joan Leslie was a second-rate dancer and didn't have all the "pizazz" of a character that became a Broadway star. But I liked her personality. Leona Maricle, who played playwright Laura Britton, was just wonderful. She reminded me of a somewhat "softer" or more "subdued" Eve Arden. I love women's roles like that--independent, smart, snappy women who don't have to "announce" their lines. If I were an actor, that's the kind of role I would love to have played. (Does anyone else think it a bit odd that, of all people, Jack Carson would play a lovelorn, tragic figure? Just think of him in "Mildred Pierce," among other movies.) Great script, and also loved background music, especially Cole Porter ("Night and Day," "Love for Sale," etc.). If you appreciate the cinematography, I can tell you why in three words: James. Wong. Howe. As do many others, I love this era of movies (the good ones) for great script, acting, and direction, without resorting to four-letter words and explicit sex and what's become a little too much flesh for me, thank you. Also, less flesh means great costumes (LOL). All in all, I think this is a real treasure, not to be missed. BTW, I found it on YouTube. Watch it while you can!
