You Can't Take It with You (1938). My love affair with old movies continues. This time it is James Stewart with Jean Arthur directed by Frank Capra. It is a quirky comedy that has undertones of what is coming soon for Frank Capra and James Stewart: It's a Wonderful Life (1946). The movie deals with two very diverse families: Stewart's family are bankers while Arthur's family are artists. The two fall in love (how they fall in love isn't really explained, you simply see them behind the closed door of Stewart's office having already been dating for awhile). If one needs a laugh, this is a movie to see.
Note: you see an amusing moment when a house explodes in a brilliant light of fireworks. You'd think a lot of folks would permanently find themselves in jail for something like that. Well, not so. Perhaps that's the difference between the 1930s and the 2010s.
