Washington D.C., the war years, and a housing shorting that turns the town into a series of neatly-laid-out sardine cans. Miss Arthur has a spare bedroom so she decides to rent it out; she's hoping for a woman, but she gets pushy Charles Coburn, and say, is he in ALL of her movies, or all Columbia movies, or what? Anyway, after learning to live with each other for a whole day (which entails Mr. Coburn frantically trying to follow her ridiculous to-the-minute schedule for use of kitchen, bathroom and air). Mr. Coburn then turns around and sublets half of his room to young military man Joel McCrea, waiting to be shipped overseas. The sparks fly between Mr. McCrea and Miss Arthur, despite the fact that on the surface they don't seem to like each other all that much and she's got a toupee with a fiance under it. Probably my new favorite Jean Arthur picture, inching past The Devil and Miss Jones. It's hilarious, a real slapstick delight, plus it's romantic as all get out AND - get this! - contains one of the sexiest scenes in the entire history of movies, as Jody and Jean grope each other right there on the front stoop. The chemistry is terrific all 'round and Mr. Coburn won on Oscar and Miss Arthur was nominated. When I say chemistry, I mean the whole cast: the scenes with Chuck 'n' Joel are hilarious, too. Million-dollar Dialog, as our two male roomies read the funny papers while up on the roof: Joel: 'Perhaps some BOILING OIL on your BACK will persuade you to help me! Chuck: 'Gosh! That Dick Tracy is sure playing with dynamite! Joel: 'Sure is! Jean: 'Is that the best you can do with your time? Chuck: 'Gotta keep up with what's going on. I missed two Sundays with Superman once and I've never felt right since. George Stevens directed and four writers are credited, but not Garson Kanin, who came up with the story specifically for Jean Arthur, who was unhappy with the scripts Columbia Pictures was offering her. Miss Arthur has become my all-time favorite actress and I love her and am going to watch all of her movies over and over and over for the rest of my life. Please don't rent any of her films because I want them all in my queue and delivered toot sweet. Thank you.
