The picture focuses a ingenuous , mild-mannered teacher (James Stewart) , he goes N.Y.City and he meets a beautiful chorus girl (Ginger Rogers) from Broadway . But the problems are always cropping up when he must tell their marriage to the conservative parents (Charles Coburn , Belulah Bondi) and his former bride .
The picture displays screwball comedy , romance , jokes , giggles and lots of amusement . The film highlights are : the struggle between the fiancée and wife in public presence , a drunk Stewart explaining the lesson and the room family dancing in the face of Charles Coburn . However , being eventually hampered by racist stereotypes on the black people characterizations (the two black servants). James Stewart and Ginger Rogers are awesome , both of whom are top-notch comedy actors . Stewart is a phenomenal comedian as he proved in : ¨It's a wonderful life¨ , ¨Shop Around of corner¨ and ¨Philadelpia story¨ . Ginger Rogers is number one as the best dancer actress (though here she only carries out one dance) ; besides , being a riveting comedian and she won an Academy Award for her portrayal in ¨Kitty Foyle : Natural history of a woman¨ . The support cast is first range : Charles Coburn , James Ellison , Jack Carson and Belulah Bondi , this is one of five times that she portrayed James Stewart's mother . And Hattie McDaniel , she is a number of ways , superior to most of the white folks surrounding her , she was the first African-American to win an Oscar (Gone with the wind). The motion picture was magnificently directed by George Stevens who obtained two Oscars and directed excellent movies (Shane , Giant , Gunga Din , A place in the sun). The picture will appeal to sparkling romantic comedy enthusiasts and Stewart , Rogers fans .
