I think on my first viewing I was surprised because Amanda was basically out of Shearer's usual wheelhouse but if you view it in context of the time (early 1930s) and as a screwball comedy, it's really a lot of fun.

I distinctly remember the first time I saw it - I was addressing invitations for my wedding, and I instantly fell in love with it. Even now, 25 years later, it still makes me laugh. I've read reviews which stated that certain characters were miscast (particularly Sibyl), but I thought they all were perfect. I'm glad you gave this one another try!Karenhttp://www.shadowsandsatin.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
