Young in Heart

Summary: A THIRTIES DELIGHT.
Review: A wonderfully told story has Dupree (as Miss Fortune!) playing an elderly woman who is painfully lonely. While traveling on a European train, she meets a rather unusual family of charming connivers. They've just been kicked out of the Riviera, and see this rich, lonely old woman as their next meal ticket...Dupree, however, isn't the easy pushover the con artists were hoping for, and they learn about a little thing called w-o-r-k. The story is told with sensitivity and the right amount of humour: the results are charming & heart-warming. The original ending had Miss Fortune dying, but this proved unfavourable to preview audiences, so the cast was called back to film a more upbeat, happier ending. The photography and music are both excellent and garnered AA nominations.

Summary: A con artist family learns a lesson in kindness
Review: Roland Young, Billie Burke, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Janet Gaynor are a family of con artists out to fleece Miss Fortune (misfortune?), a rich old lady, of her money. However, they soon find that her kindness to them causes a change of heart and they decide to reform. Great unknown David O. Selznick comedy also features Paulette Goddard and Richard Carlson as the romantic others for the brother and sister con artists. Well worth a look!
