moviedude1 Ginger Rogers stars as a pending bride who's noted for leaving her suitor(s) at the altar. But this time, she's sure of her decision...until a new suitor, literally, shows up in her dreams.Although I don't believe something like this could REALLY happen, I was in the mood for something light and I ended up watching this. I've never been a big fan of the old movies, but I saw "Chicago" with Gere, Zellweger, and Zeta-Jones and then saw the film "Roxie Hart" (1927) with Ginger Rogers, and kind of liked the campy comedy that this film portrayed, so I keep an eye out for her on TCM and whenever I stumble across one of her films, I try and watch them. As I said, I don't believe the premise of the film could ever happen, but the way Ginger looks at Cornel Wilde is believable and, although it's probably with more infatuation than love, I know every guy wishes for a girl to look at him that way.The story won't necessarily keep you enthralled, but your wondering how they're gonna get out of this predicament will! 8 out of 10 stars!
HallmarkMovieBuff The ever-endearing Ginger Rogers plays a socialite sculptress who rejects one suitor after another until she realizes that she's always been in love with a boy with whom she played kissing games at a childhood party, a boy who's grown up to become a fireman. She comes to this realization as the boy of her dreams literally materializes from one of her dreams as an adult dressed in the Indian costume he wore at the party. Of course, the plot is much more convoluted than I describe, but that's the gist.Cornell Wilde does well in the dual role of the annoying and persistent Indian "George" and the likable but reluctant fireman "Johnny". How Rogers' "Victoria" comes to find her fireman, shed her Indian, and dump her latest fiancé "Oliver" (Ron Randell) constitutes roughly the second half of the film. Wilde's "Indian" makes the going in the first half a bit tedious due to its incredibility. Nevertheless, it all concludes quite satisfactorily, as movies of this genre and time are wont to do. One should mention that all supporting players do just as well in their roles as the leads, which is quite a feat, given the unbelievable material with which they had to work.
inunez I also saw this movie "It Had To be You" when I was 8 or 9 .... I would love to see it again .... does anyone know if it is available? I tried Turner Classic Movies and did not get a hit .... are there any archives that one might be able to look into? .... one of the things I remember vividly is that there was an Indian in the movie, looked like Tonto from the Lone Ranger, and seem to remember a staircase and a train ..... interestingly enough I saw this movie on a ship when my family was going back to South America on one of the "Grace" line ships, the "Santa Isabel" of course at the time there was no movie room on the ship but it was shown on a screen hung probably on the stern of the ship and we sat on chairs on the deck. I would like to add that after I wrote the above comment, I did find a DVD in England. Comes in the European format so you need a player or PC that has that option. Have to say that it was great to be able to see watch it again.
avn7172 This is probably my favorite movies of all times and I would love to be able to buy it. If anyone know how to get this movie please let me know and if it is possible please put it where I can buy it as I would love to see it again and if not please let me know when they show it on T.V so that I can watch it again. When I first saw this movie I was 12 years old and I would come home from school and run to the T.V. and look for it again and find it and watch it again. I must have seen it every day for at least a month.If you have missed this movie please try to watch it. It has comedy and romance in it and it is really a cute movie.If I tell you any more it will ruin it for you but this is one of the best movies I have ever seen in my opinion.
