They Knew What They Wanted (1940 Garson Kanin)

I need no incentive to watch Carole Lombard in anything - she is at her usual self here, full of life, as a waitress who answers a marriage proposal in a letter. The proposer is Italian vineyard owner Charles Laughton. Unfortunately romantic complications evolve with William Gargan though after the involvement of the censor it all goes a bit murky. Suffers also from poor acting in the support roles.

Music by Lionel Newman, sunset by Stradling, RKO.
