Man of the World (1931 Richard Wallace, Edward Goodman)

What a difference a year makes.... This is sooooooooooo slooooooooooooooooooow that I had time to re-read 'Pale Fire'* while it was running - it would be slow at double speed.

Notable though as it's where Powell and Lombard met (they married soon after).

For the record, Powell is a blackmailer who falls in love with Lombard in Paris. It doesn't even have a happy ending.

Paramount are responsible.

(However even this was better than the next Lombard we tried, 1934's We're Not Dressing, with FAR too many songs, Bing Crosby and a performing bear - and a young Ray Milland.)

*Editor's note. The author has never read 'Pale Fire'.
