Review of Made for Each Other (1939) by Amanda H — 17 Jan 2009
It may not be a masterpiece, but "Made For Each Other" is still a very fine movie. A little melodramatic, yes- the whole "miracle serum from Salt Lake City" story line was a tad cliche, but you know back in those days cliches didn't even exist yet, so I'll let it slide.
I can see the flaws in this film, but for some reason I still really cared for it and didn't mind them so much- it might have actually been films like these that created those cliches, so can you really fault them for it? I don't think so.
Am I a little biased by the fact that it stars the Great Jimmy Stewart? Well...yes. But I still don't think that this film deserves to be forgotten in a pile of old, dime a dozen 1930s romantic comedies.
"Made for Each Other", although not perfect or good enough to be placed on my list as flawless, Golden-era cinema is still very good and worthy to be watched. If not for the story than for the gloriousness that is young Jimmy Stewart.
