Theodora Goes Wild

Theodora Goes Wild (1936) starring Irene Dunne, Melvyn Douglas. Dunne plays a small-town girl who secretly writes a steamy novel. When she goes to New York to meet with her publisher, she meets the man who illustrates the book jackets (Douglas), with whom she eventually falls in love. Screwball comedy is Dunne's first film, sets the pattern for many to follow. I found it to be a comfortable evening's entertainment. (The disc has good, readable subtitles in English, as well as closed captions.) Grade: B
