MCMXXXIX XLVII: Day-Time Wife

Day-Time Wife. Gregory Ratoff. 1939.

This is fun! It’s a cheap, quick little B movie, but with higher production values than usual.

It’s about the wife of a guy that’s obviously stepping out… or is he!?!?

This is almost hilarious. Tyrone Power isn’t really miscast here, but… somebody funnier would have made this so much better. It really needs somebody who could ham it up more.

Delightful!

OK, I’m not sure if you can call this a B movie… I mean, I think it was probably made in a hurry, but it looks really great, and it’s got a lot of zip to the lines.

It’s a lot of fun.
