SWING HIGH, SWING LOW(1937)
This isn't an actual comedy! It's a cross between comedy
and drama, leaning a little more towards drama!
Fred plays a jerk just out of the service who hits on a
girl he spies while a ship is going through the Panama
Cannal! They hit it off pretty well, and it leads to them
getting married! But as with most shows like this, there's
another person who wants to put a kabosh on their relationship,
which culminates in the finale!! C+
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
I loved it! Fred MacMurray is wonderful as Skid Johnson,
a somewhat conceited, proud yet at the same time very
vulnerable saxophone player who is in love with Maggie
(Carole Lombard), who's always there for him. They meet
in Panama after Maggie comes off a ship and end up in
a bar with Anthony Quinn. Tony gets punched in the nose
after her insults Maggie by thinking her a loose
woman - all because she took off her hat in public.
Big brawl and Maggie ends up stuck in Panama. Romance.
Carole and Arthur are great together. Maggie is always
there for him whenever he needs her. She urges him to
go to NY where (well watch the movie and find out).
They have these wonderful scenes together where she
sings in his arms while he plays the saxophone(Note:
he does NOT play a sax!! He plays a trumpet!! RP). I
definitely recommend it. - silverlining5795
