Whoa — RKO’s wartime hit is a bright spot for mainstream filmmaking: major studio talents turn an unpromising idea into a sweetheart film everyone loved. Cary Grant has total control of his ‘bad’ gambler-grifter, while the unsung but wonderful Laraine Day gives him a reason to reform. The Damon Runyon-inflected tale is frequently hilarious, with a cute romantic angle that saves the day. It’s also beautifully designed … by none other than William Cameron Menzies. On Blu-ray from The Warner Archive Collection.
