Wonder why all "romantic" movies give me the shivers? Old and new.
That was fascinating on several levels. Lots of good characters in a convoluted story. Interesting view of the USA pre-freeway system. Still had unpaved roads. Where is that 'wooden' town with Indians supposed to be? Santa Fe? A number of similarities to IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT.The passengers even sing an old song together. No air-conditioning on the bus! An attractive young woman gets to travel for free in exchange for her companionship! It's a cozy film and look into the American past of the Great Depression.
Good movie. Thank you for your time & effort posting it.
Never noticed it before, but Lew Ayres looks a whole lot like John Wayne, not the later John Wayne we're all used to, but the way John Wayne looked in his cheap-o B-Western days. It's too bad Alice White's career went down the tubes. She was a funny gal and was misused. She should have been put in comedies and could have become a more working-class version of Carole Lombard.
Much more interesting and enjoyable than the beginning portends.
that was ok thanks for posting
I like Lew Ayres — found him very compelling and touching in 'Holiday' (1938) playing Katherine Hepburn's melancholy alcoholic brother.
Wonderful picture show.
This movie deserves a remake….. without the Eugene Pallette character. Pallette is usually fine when he plays a detective or comedic father figure, but here he is just plain annoying. I'll still give the movie a thumbs up, but only because I have a mute button.
