February 26 movie: There Goes My Heart. Stars Virginia Bruce as the spoiled heiress who runs away from her gruff but beloved male guardian, and Fredric March, the street-smart reporter who desperately needs a hit story. He tries to make his career back with a scoop about her, but falls in love with her instead. Sound familiar? That's right, It Happened One Night! Yes, the plot of There Goes My Heart is a total ripoff of It Happened One Night. What saves this movie is the sparkling chemistry between March and Bruce. Also great supporting work by Patsy Kelly, Eugene Pallette, and especially Alan Mowbray as a would-be chiropractor taking correspondence lessons.
