I LOVED THIS SO MUCH DON'T LISTEN THE RATINGS PEOPLE
(I'm usually not that forward...because to each their own and all that. But damn this was good)

I watched a 2 and a half hour T.V interview from 1978 of Olivia de Havilland talking about her parents, her upbringing into stardom and her favourite films of hers that she'd done. Some included The Snake Pit, The Heiress and of course Gone With The Wind. One that she scoffed at and refused to mention the actual name of the movie was this one. Through a bit of research and a process of elimination, I found that Olivia was forced into making this movie that she really had no interest doing. I think it was during her time of being on suspension with Warner Bros and basically she had to do what she was told until the court case that she underwent was finished and she was finally free to work contract less.

When she talked about this movie she said the only good thing to come out of it was that it did well in the box office at the time. Other than that she physically recoiled and acted disgusted at the mere thought of the film... So because of her not wanting to do this 1943 picture is where I think the most rash sort of both physically comedic and just cute acting abilities came out that we really never got to see much of because her heart was definitely in the more dramatic picture genre. Which is great, but getting to see that quirky/silly side of her was so so good.

Between taking a cigarette out of a man's mouth to kiss him, riding a motorbike side-saddle, sticking a pencil in her hair in between taking notes, sliding across the floor with no shoes on and acting drunk jumping on sofas... oh it was fun. A silly fun. It's not something that I haven't seen before but it was Really enjoyable and I think when putting a 90 minute early **40's** movie together, that's the key to what you need... enjoyability.

A generic but also kind of hidden gem of a movie that I guarantee no one else will agree with me on but that's ok... I just love drunk Olivia de Havilland x
