Review of You Can't Take It with You (1938) by Matthew B — 14 Mar 2009
You Can't Take It With You falls into the category of movie I love so much that I want to kick myself in the ass for not seeing it sooner. Many call it a screwball comedy, which at moments it definitely is especially during the restaurant and courtroom scenes.
But I'd say it smells more like a drama since I got misty with happiness at the end when Edward Arnold cracked. Frank Capra's direction as always is flawless here and the cast is astonishing. And Jesus was Jean Arthur a doll.
