Steve D Ginger is really good. The film is not. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/20/23 Full Review acsdoug D A good romantic comedy with undertones of class struggle and great dialogue. I especially appreciated the almost complete lack of a soundtrack, something pretty rare in a movie from the 30s. That's a testament to how strong the dialogue is. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/05/23 Full Review joe m "Fifth Avenue Girl" is a charming if rather standard Depression era comedy flick of a millionaire Timothy Borden (Walter Connelly) who's business is on the rocks and who's family is distant from him. He meets a young working class girl Mary Grey (Ginger Rogers) in Central Park. He then introduces her into his life, much to the consternation of his wife, son and daughter. Broad humor at the expense of the rich while still extolling the general aspirations to be rich. Connelly far outshines Rogers, who is kind of wooden at times, with the rest of the cast adding vim and comic relief. Above average for the genre. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review ashley h Fifth Avenue Girl is a decent film. It is about a wealthy industrialist hires an unemployed young woman to pose as his mistress. Ginger Rogers and Walter Connolly give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Gregory La Cava did an alright job directing this movie. i liked this motion picture because of the humor and romance. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A more than pleasant diversion in which a poor & hapless young woman of the world becomes the heroine of a bored, wealthy family. Several digs at the greed of capitalism, which was rampant (and not altogether wrong) in these post depression years. A shame this lavish set, & Rogers' curves, couldn't have been in color. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I was excited to see this film because it was a comedy featuring Tim Holt, who is a great actor (i.e. "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" "Magnificent Ambersons") who spent most of his career cashing in on his popularity as a B-picture western star. The film has a solid screwball comedy set up, with a rich man hiring a charming homeless girl, Ginger Rogers, to be a part of his life in order to get some attention from his snooty rich family. Holt plays his boorish son. Unfortunately, the film isn't all that funny, despite the good cast. I'll lay blame on the script for this film's failure.
