Leslie Combemale Cinema Siren 07/25/2019
The mixture of comedy and drama was a rarity for its time, leaving you very connected to the characters and rooting for their success. Go to Full Review
Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews 08/12/2014
B+
Dated and absurd soap opera that surprisingly still works mainly because of the good chemistry between co-stars James Stewart and Carole Lombard. Go to Full Review

Stewart is touching as a man who feels completely powerless to provide for his wife or to improve his standing. Go to Full Review

Susan G 06/20/2024 I love Jimmy Stewart and Carole Lombard. This movie was a good effort, but it suffered from poor directing and dialogue. I'd rather watch My Man Godfrey or Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Oh well...lots of old movies are good, and lots of them aren't. See more Steve D 01/11/2024 With these stars it is impossible not to like it, or not to expect more. See more ed m 12/20/2023 Good old fashioned Hollywood movie. Starring two legends (Jimmy Stewart, Carole Lombard). Featuring two of the great character actors (Charles Coburn, Ward Bond.) See more nick s 10/11/2023 The storyline was a bit rambling, but the intoxicating acting and crisp dialogue made up for it. See more john g 07/07/2022 Excellent acting by Lombard, Stewart, Coburn, and Lucile Watson. Hyper-torqued, 30's-style tear-jerker. Very much of a downer except for the very first part and the very end. See more 01/26/2021 Stewart's practice for Wonderful Life is like a toned-down Capra domestic holiday drama. Lombard and Stewart are a lovably cute and sweet couple, full of empathy. The biggest flaw are the social trappings of the time; the gender stuff isn't bad, but the racial element is unsurprisingly shameful. See more Read all reviews
