ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 09/15/2020 Piccadilly Jim is a disappointing film. It is about an American street caricaturist who falls in love with a young woman who suddenly disappears in London. Robert Montgomery and Madge Evans give horrible performances. The screenplay is badly written. Robert Z. Leonard did a terrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture. See more 05/28/2015 above average rom-com See more 04/09/2015 One of the best casts of the 30s. Robert Montgomery, Frank Morgan, Billie Burke, Eric Blore, Robert Benchley are at their comedic best. A great script by Charles Brackett (Billy Wilder's writing partner) based on a P.G. Wodehouse story.

What a stellar supporting cast, Eric Blore, Billie Burke Frank Morgan, Cora Witherspoon and Robert Benchley. All are excellent, especially Benchley and Blore. Robert Montgomery is quite good as well. Amusing story, and like all MGM productions at that time, it is sublime. Light, funny and very entertaining. See more 03/06/2010 75/100.
