She Done Him Wrong

29Leave it.

Not for a family: she collects men, and the mission worker is not what he seems.

The review

A very large gross on a small cost, which tells you the country wanted it. Mae West, from her stage hit, plays a Bowery singer who runs a saloon in the 1890s and collects men. Cary Grant is the mission worker, and he is not what he seems. Adult. I'm not describing the sex. Not a family film. I don't need a speech to know it doesn't belong on a weeknight with children awake.

The code that came after was partly aimed at this kind of picture. That's the fact worth keeping. She runs the business, the mission man is not what he seems, and neither of them is a household. If adults watch, know the laugh had a bill later. Collecting men is not a marriage. Don't put it on and hope the kids will miss the point.

Journal

Keep She Done Him Wrong in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 29. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Scooby-Doo

41 instead of 29

Scooby-Doo is still a comedy film, and it scores 41 instead of 29. What you gain is household: Friendship is the household.

The eight

6
Industry
She runs a Bowery saloon in the 1890s, and that room is the job.
1
Household
She collects men, and there is no marriage, parent, or child to keep.
2
Piety
The mission worker is not what he seems, so the mission is not a conscience.
3
Courage
The saloon already runs on want; she risks little she would be sorry to lose.
4
Republic
The code that came after was partly aimed at this kind of picture.
2
Temperance
Collecting men is the pleasure, and the picture never asks her to want less.
3
Truth
Grant's mission man is not what he seems, so the good errand is false.
2
Stewardship
A huge gross on a small cost, then a code partly aimed at pictures like this.

Cleopatra

29Leave it.

The procession is the product. The affair is the plot, and the plot is not a life.

The review

It cost enough to nearly sink a studio, and the cost is not a quality. A queen manages Rome by managing two men, and the film is interested in the managing as a pageant and a love affair. The processions are long because the processions are what the money bought. I will not pretend the length is grandeur. Length is what you get when nobody was willing to cut the entrance.

The marriages in the way of the affair are treated as furniture. That is the part a house should not absorb. Adults can look at the barge as a document of a certain kind of Hollywood excess and then leave it. Do not sit a young person down in front of four hours in which the lesson is that history is a romance with better curtains. The crowds came. The number is not the crowds.

Argo

53 instead of 29

Argo is still a history film, and it scores 53 instead of 29. What you gain is temperance: The tension is earned by waiting, not by a body count.
