Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzA sophisticated set in Manhattan romcom for its time is now, of course, dated.
User Review - 10/10 by Terry MConstance Bennett showcases her briliance as a sophisocated comedic actress in this movie. She is witty, elegant and compassionate in this role.
User Review - 6/10 by Tom HKenneth MacKenna plays a live-alone-and-like-it kind of guy about to be roped into marriage by a woman who has named him in her current divorce proceedings. How does he get out of this jam? He marries his Plain-Jane secretary, of course! But how to keep up that bachelor lifestyle with a wife around? Send her to Paris by herself! Complications ensue when Plain-Jane newlywed meets MacKenna's pal Basil Rathbone en route to Europe, gets a makeover and turns out to be Constance Bennett. Naturally Bennett & Rathbone fall in love and I shall cruelly keep from you the knowledge of which man she chooses. I'm a saditisc bastard, ain't I? When I found this film on DVD this afternoon I was thrilled. At the price of $7.99, I wasn't expecting a particularly good transfer (I was right), but the prospect of seeing a new-to-me Constance Bennett Pre-Code was exciting in and of itself. As it turns out, I had already seen it. I watched it a few months ago when I taped it off of TCM. Eh bien. The dialogue gets off to a rocky start but, strangely, improves as the film continues. The last scene in particular crackles with the sort of one-liners I gladly repeat here if I had the mental capabilities to do so. The acting is generally well-done. Constance Bennett's performace, while not her best, does evince evidence of the work that was to come in her later pictures. And Zasu Pitts has a small role, hands a-flutterin' and all. And really, who could ask for anything more for $7.99?
User Review - 6/10 by Katie Rthe ending was stupid, but Constance Bennett was amazing though
User Review - 6/10 by Kevin M. WConstance Bennett as a blasé, plain Jane, everyday working girl (with dreams of the good life, natch) who's rich boss marries her to protect himself from, err, money harpies. Is there a Cinderella story far off, hmmm? In the meantime, Basil Rathbone practically steals the movie as the boss' bestie who decides to go slumming and get that glass slipper girl for himself. And everyone is surprised when ol'Constance cleans up pretty damn good. It's okay.
User Review - 4/10 by Antonius BThis bit of fluff has such a silly premise. A man (Kenneth MacKenna) marries his secretary (Constance Bennett) in order to make himself unavailable to a woman he's been seeing (Rita La Roy), who is getting a divorce and has her eyes on getting him down the aisle. The marriage is a sham, he'll pay her for $5000 for a single year, and allow her to travel and live wherever she'd like, because he has no real interest in her. Delicately, they make it clear there will be no physical relations. She's saddened by the whole thing, but she has no other offers and so reluctantly agrees. She then sets off for Europe. Naturally, many of the men over there (including one played by Basil Rathbone) find her more than a 'plain Jane' and pursue her. Jealousy in two love triangles ensues when she returns to New York to talk to her 'husband', with both La Roy and Rathbone's characters present. Constance Bennett is reasonably good in the leading role. Her attitude is almost too morose at the outset, but she stands up for herself to all of the other characters. One theme seems to be that attraction increases the more unattainable someone is, which is an interesting premise. However, the film feels amateurish in its direction and in its script. It's uninteresting and flat for too many stretches despite is brief 81 minute run time. The ending is also horribly predictable, and worse, unlike other romantic comedies where we know what's coming but are all rooting for it, here we really don't want it to end this way. Lastly, the title 'Sin Takes a Holiday' is a ridiculously sensationalistic attempt to sell tickets, and while the film is pre-Code, it's quite tame.
