Unfaithfully Yours

Posted 10 July 2007 in Screening log

Rating

1948 - US

Director
Preston Sturges

Starring
Rex Harrison

My dark horse candidate for greatest 40s comedy. Rarely have I had a pleasure as great as Rex Harrison spitting and pattering out Sturges’ dialogue (on par with Burton doing Albee, only hilarious — well, less horrifically hilarious — well… after all it’s almost the same thing!). Every strand of American comedy is in this, superlatively realized.
