Everyone is yelling and crazy, but John Barrymore is yelling the most and is the craziest . He is so brilliant as the obsessive, megalomaniacal, devious Oscar Jaffe that the fact that he’s obsessive, megalomaniacal, and devious hardly detracts from considering him a romantic lead. Absolutely ridiculous stuff that took me a second to click with, but once I got on its wavelength I was locked in.

John Barrymore was incredible and so entertaining! Carole Lombard worked with what she had well and was great, but honestly her character felt much weaker. There really wasn't enough time spent with her or details for her to feel fleshed out at all.

Twentieth Century is an absolutely insane screwball comedy with great performances from John Barrymore and Carole Lombard.

The movie is extremely LOUD!! especially in the later half where Lily and OJ are trying to make up.


Oscar is an egotistical theater director who isn't controlling via his creativity and ability to work we see that is not evident after his shows flop without Lily. It is literally only possible because they are on a train for the last half.


It is fun to Lily and Oscar bicker with each other Oscar believes he is entitled to Lily's work because he made her career while Lily believes she is above Oscar now because of her success in hollywood.


Solid film for Hawks.

I love to see John Barrymore be crazy and I love to see Carole Lombard do anything!
