June 28 movie: In Name Only. Cary Grant falls in love with Carole Lombard, but his golddigger wife Kay Francis won't give him a divorce. Grant's upper crust parents and friends are mean to Lombard, but eventually everything works out. Francis is great as the villain and Charles Coburn has a nice turn as Grant's father. The only thing wrong with the movie is that Grant spends the entire end of the movie lying in an oxygen tent looking weak while the other characters sort things out. Doesn't that violate a cardinal principle of classic movies? It's the woman who's supposed to become deathly ill so the man realizes he can't live without her, not the other way around.
