February 1 movie: Picadilly Jim. This was great. One of the highlights of Robert Montgomery's "Star of the Month" turn in TCM. Based on a P.G. Wodehouse novel, Montgomery plays a cartoonist whose father, Frank Morgan, is spurned by the horrible family of his would-be amour. So Montgomery does a satirical cartoon about the family to get back at them. Trouble is, the object of Montgomery's affection is also a member of the horrible family! This was very funny and fast-paced with biting satire. Very much what I want from a screwball comedy.
