Review of Twentieth Century (1934) by Kevin M. W — 21 Nov 2011
Over-the-top screwball comedy about a theater impresario (John Barrymore) and his protege (Carole Lombard) who splits with him after too much histrionic behavior and goes on to be a movie star. Over-acting is the soup of the day and things become fairly manic once everyone boards the titular train and tries to make this into a "comedy of remarriage" (which it is not, because the stars are not married, which could be shocking for its day).
Howard Hawks directs.
