SYNOPSIS:
Ginger Rogers and Norman Foster shine in this breezy comedy about two struggling tenants forced to occupy the same Greenwich Village apartment. When telemarketer Mary Carroll (Rogers) and night watchman Jack Bacon (Foster) both fall three months behind in their rent, their landlord forces them to share the fourth floor attic in twelve-hour shifts: Mary resides there during the evening, and Jack during the day. Despite the fact that they’ve never met, Mary and Jack form definite opinions of one another, trading their share of caustic notes and nasty practical jokes. It isn’t until these two unwitting roommates meet away from the apartment that they find a romantic connection—all the while unknowingly complaining to each other about… each other!

Featuring Robert Benchley as Mary’s boss (and unwelcome love interest), and Laura Hope Crews as a patroness of the arts (with eyes for Jack), Rafter Romance stands out as one of director William Seiter’s best comedies.

Robert S.
A pre-code film that was kept from the public for 70 years, it's a romantic comedy with Ginger Rogers showing why she'd become a bigger star in the following decade. Fun film, re-made 5 years later as LIVING ON LOVE, and both deserve a look.
