should you ever wish to curl up with a wonderfully sad black and white movie, here it is. even though the ending is pure melodrama, the story is just great and the acting is tops. beautiful carole lombard meets handsome cary grant by a woodland stream and sure enough, their spirits ignite. she is widowed, he is married to a woman who makes you wonder if he goes to bed at night with a little pistol under his pillow. kay francis (i love her) is sublime as a conniving social climber who only married cary for his money. 1939's 'in name only' is romantic, frustrating, and beautifully acted. every time i watch cary grant i am amazed.
