Rosalie Kicks MovieJawn There was a lot to love about this romantic romp and it was lovely to see a different type of James Whale production. Rated: 2.75/4 Jun 19, 2024 Full Review Sarah Boslaugh TheArtsStl ...a charming pre-Code (1933) romantic comedy based on P.G. Wodehouse’s adaptation of a Siegfried Geyer play. Dec 8, 2022 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid James Whale directed this elegant, sly pre-code romantic comedy with a great deal of grace and class, elevating its silly premise to sublime heights. Rated: 4/4 Nov 15, 2022 Full Review Michael Barrett PopMatters ...a perfect example of Depression-era escapism into Art Deco consumerism... Oct 31, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
