Leave your thoughts about The Good Fairy.
| Nick's Flick PicksNick DavisThis strange, uncertain film doesn't augur or embody Wyler's subsequent trademarks so much as it calls them into relief through their very absence. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeSturges' gift for blending the sophisticated with the simple, the cynical with the sentimental has rarely been better evidenced than it is here. |
| User ReviewChrisanne SI love Herbert Marshall in this. He's so dull, it's just amusing. Sullavan is a luminous orphan, and the other character actors are amusing- especially bumbling Morgan. |
| User ReviewJames CI absolutely love how this isn't your typical glamorous movie from the 30's. People are bumbling everywhere, and it's very human and entertaining. Except for the insanely short romance...it's perfect for us hopeless romantics |
| User ReviewKristal C"GO!" "But Meredith, surely you don't mean that!" "GO!!" "He's crazy as a chipmunk!" They just don't make movies like this any more. |
| User ReviewRhonda RI thought this was a cute movie & I did laugh outloud quite a few times. I think it was the dialogue that got me. |
| User ReviewTim FThis is an absolutely charming, often laugh-out-loud film. Margaret Sullavan is so endearing and funny. Some great classic pratfalls throughout, and very clever, playful dialogue. |
| User ReviewMike MFantastic character actors - very sweet 1935 film. |
| User ReviewStella DAn underrated screwball comedy by William Wyler and Preston Sturges. If you liked Hail the Conquering Hero, or It Happened One Night, this is another in the same vein. |
| User ReviewJoel AA charming film about a young woman (Margaret Sullivan) who gets an opportunity to leave the orphanage to become an usherette at the Cinema in Budapest Hungary. When advanced on by a Millionaire (Frank Morgan: the Wizard from the Wizard of Oz) she decides to pretend to be married so Morgan will finance her hubby. Catch is she picked a random poor man to finance to do her good deed. As you imagine this film has much confusion between the characters & a little innocence can you get you into trouble in the big wide world. Slow in parts but great performances & charm. |
