Pot O' Gold Reviews
Interesting Film
Ever the professionals, both Jimmy Stewart and Paulette Goddard gave this film their best effort. Goddard was certainly a gorgeous woman, and her musical number in this film was very interesting...her legendary charm is highly evident. The number itself is a bit odd...she begins in a glamorous gown, singing...then switches to a female version of a Spanish male cabellero (sp?) outfit, flirting outrageously with all the girls...then switches into another glamorous gown and dances the tango (extremely well) with her male partner, who appears to be authentically entranced by her...the first time I saw it, I thought, "What was THAT???" Only Goddard could have pulled it off. It didn't appear that she and Stewart had much in the chemistry department, but they did give it their best effort. It's a pleasant film.
A Mixed Bag
The strength of the film is its technical aspect. For the time, the special effects are quite good. Acting is also strong. I was disappointed in the plot. The script just doesn't accomplish the job. Essentially the theme is "art" (in this case music)is superior to business. All business people are evil and only artists know how to celebrate life. Violence, robbery, and deception of any kind is justified to teach the evil businessman a lesson. That's the subplot that just doesn't hold up.
Jimmy Stewart's character, working with Paulette Goddard's character, "save the day" by staging a lottery, which they have previously discussed was not legal. Here again, there's no logic. They do the very thing the script writers prohibited them from doing. It's a non sequituer.
