I love this little movie. Ginger Rogers is at her best here -- sweet, engaging, human -- and Francis Lederer is perfect as the illegal alien with a huge heart. As a Ginger Rogers film, this ranks right up there with Primrose Path and Roberta in my Hall of Favorites. Romance in Manhattan creates a mythopoeic USA that triumphs over Depression era America through a large dose of Hope. Folks in 1935 probably needed a film like this, but I think it works well to mute the horrors of 2020 also. See it.
Still two more episodes to go with this, but I have seen enough to rate it. Overall, the story is disjointed and tries to do way too much, covering all the political correctness bases without letting us get involved with any of the characters. Much of the story is just WWII cliche. The only reason I keep watching is that I enjoy seeing Zofia Wichlacz and Julia Brown.
