Man of the Moment (1935)

Post by Cinemaspeak59 »

Man of the Moment (1935) A feel-good romantic comedy about a plain secretary (Laura La Plante), who has given up on love, and life, until happenstance prevails, and she finds herself in the company of a handsome aristocrat, played by the dashing Douglas Fairbanks Jr., who is saddled with a haughty and controlling fiancé, (Margaret Lockwood, one of the great British leading ladies of the 30s and 40s). Funny moments include a bachelor party gone awry, crashed by La Plante dressed as one of the guys. The movie travels from England to Monte Carlo. La Plante’s appealing performance suggests that, had she been younger, and with some luck, a longer career as a screwball comedy heroine may have awaited her.
