The Gay Divorcee

31Leave it.

The dances carry the night, and the divorce under them is a hired lie.

The review

A woman goes to a resort to be caught with a hired co-respondent, because that is how she means to get divorced. She mistakes a dancer for the man she hired. Astaire and Rogers, starring together for the first time. A house can watch it. I came for the dances and sat through a marriage nobody is actually living.

The divorce is a device. The dance is the night. I had a pleasant hour, and I won't dress the scheme up as two honest people getting through a hard week. The catch is hired, the identity is wrong, and the numbers are why it is still around. Easy Friday viewing, once the co-respondent has been said out loud.

Journal

Keep The Gay Divorcee in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 31. 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.

The Greatest Showman

40 instead of 31

The Greatest Showman is still a musical film, and it scores 40 instead of 31. What you gain is household: A wife and daughters he keeps leaving for the bigger room.

The eight

6
Industry
Astaire and Rogers dance, and that dancing is the real job.
2
Household
The divorce is a device, not a marriage anyone lives.
2
Piety
She hires a co-respondent so a false catch can free her.
3
Courage
The risk is a mix-up at a resort, not a life on the line.
2
Republic
Divorce law is a trick run with a hired partner.
4
Temperance
The night is arranged so the next dance replaces the plot.
2
Truth
A hired catch and a mistaken dancer are the whole engine.
4
Stewardship
You keep the dances, and the divorce trick came along too.

The review

The poster is a face designed to be kept. Films like this sometimes hide a real loneliness under the plush, and sometimes they are only the plush. The desk cannot see which from the tile, and will not invent a lesson the marketing department did not bother to print.

If you play it, watch the adult in the frame. A story where a creature teaches a man to stay is worth a conversation. A story where the toy is the point is an advertisement. You do not owe an advertisement your evening.

Cars 2

39 instead of 31

Cars 2 is still a comedy film, and it scores 39 instead of 31. What you gain is truth: He admits he was ashamed.
