Summary: Jimmy Stewart & Carole Lombard triumph over tragedy!
Review: Jimmy Stewart and Carole Lombard play a recently married couple that discovers family life isn't easy in this entertaining classic from 1939 (Hollywood's best year). Their love for each other is soon put to the test by Stewart's snobby Mom (played by Lucille Watson) who finds it hard to get along with Lombard. Also, Stewart's job is frustrating and stressful, and his grumpy, hard-of-hearing boss (played by Charles Coburn) doesn't make things easy for him. Soon Stewart and Lombard have mounting debts that can't be paid, and then tragedy strikes and they have only their love and faith to pull through the worst crisis of their lives. The plot may sound a little hokey, but thanks to great casting and wonderful performances from Lombard and Stewart, it actually works well. My main complaint with this dvd is the HORRIBLE sound quality. I had to turn the volume up nearly to max and I still couldn't hear what they said at times! This is a very enjoyable movie, but with such poor sound quality I can only give this dvd a four-star rating.
