September 10 movie: No Time for Comedy. Jimmy Stewart is a Midwestern playwright who marries Rosalind Russell, sophisticated New York actress. She stars in his comic plays. Everyone is happy, until a homewrecker comes along and convinces him that he should write Serious Drama.
This wasn't the greatest movie ever, but it was a fun way to spend an hour and a half. Nice to see Charlie Ruggles again today (as the homewrecker's long-suffering husband). Also Louise Beavers is in it. I was all excited because for once she's not a sweet simpleton maid, but a sassy actress. But then the play ends and Beavers goes back to her regular job -- as Russell's maid. I guess some things never do change. Size positive note: when Stewart embraces Russell for the first time, he presses her to him and says admiringly, "Whatever gave me the idea you were skinny?"

This sounds like my kind of movie. I'm surprised that i've never heard of it. Probably seen 50 Jimmy Stewart flicks.
