Come Live With Me: Review

starstarstarstar
A charming film as relevant today as it was in 1941. Lamarr is a gorgeous refugee named Johanna Janns (she takes the name Johnny Jones) who is having a fling with wealthy publisher Hunter. Hunter and wife Teasdale live a "modern" marriage with each free to do as he or she pleases, no questions asked. Lamarr is about to be deported and finds Stewart, a broke writer (aren't they all?), and arranges to marry him for money. She'll pay him something weekly but he is not to follow her or know where she lives. Stewart is understandably in love with Lamarr and with her story, so he uses it for a plot, writes a novel, and sends it to a publisher. Guess which publisher? Right! Hunter buys the book, sends Stewart a check, and the young writer is elated. His mood is dashed when Lamarr serves him divorce papers in preparation for her marriage to Hunter. Stewart notes Lamarr's address on the documents and decides to give her a visit. He tells her that she must spend one weekend with him and then and only then will he agree to the divorce. Lamarr calls Hunter, explains what's happening, and asks that Hunter follow them. As time passes, Lamarr comes to look at Stewart in quite another way and realizes that she is falling in love with him. Hunter arrives and Stewart thinks he's come to discuss the novel but shortly realizes that Hunter is, in fact, the other man. Stewart stomps out of the house in anger. Hunter and Lamarr have a talk in the comfortable farmhouse surroundings and he makes a vain but valiant attempt to win her back but it's to no avail as her heart now belongs to Jimmy. Hunter departs and Stewart returns to find the radiant Hedy awaiting him. It's a flimsy yet winning film that never won the audiences it should have. Lamarr was luminous and Stewart ingenuous and the sparks they made could light up an air raid brown-out. leave a comment
