      Steve D Too contrived to work despite some fun bits. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/07/23 Full Review Tom M Foster's character was loathsome despite being the romantic lead. Rogers was very good as usual. George Sidney was great in support as the landlord. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/22/20 Full Review Audience Member Breezy lightweight comedy about male/female roommates, Ginger Rogers and Norman Foster, sharing an apartment but never seeing one another due to their work schedules. It's nothing classic, but it's enjoyable enough, largely due to the very likable cast, which also includes George Sidney and Robert Benchley, who also appear in the film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member not bad pre-code rom-com-love triangle Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Mediocre Ginger Rogers vehicle, but still worth a watch for Rogers. Needs a little more comedy. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review ashley h Rafter Romance is a decent film. It is about Mary, a working girl, who shares a Greenwich Village apartment with Jack, an artist-night watchman. Ginger Rogers and Norman Foster give good performances. The screenplay is enjoyable but a little slow in places. William A. Seiter did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the romance and humor.
