I LOVE old classic movies. I couldn't believe I hadn't seen this one!
Aaaand It's excruciating.
First of all - gene is a crazy stalker from the first scene. It's creepy. There's an entire city of gals but he Sees her at the next table, while with other people, and turns His chair and gawks in the most obnoxious manner. Auper weird and super rude. And she's NOT interested! He then proceeds to get even more obnoxious! Like, dangerous call security level weird. She tells him to go away, as she should.
Then he shows up are her work!!
It's not cute. It's ....really creepy.
He makes a sort of "joke" (?) by pretending to drink perfume and the Poor actress has to giggle and says She'll go in a date with him. Wtf?!
She's got a great boyfriend who's attractive and successful and hid Her in the WW2 for five years risking his life! But Gene drinks parfume and she's In!
Do NOT get it!
And in The mean time, genes got this beautiful wealthy gal that he's being horribly rude to.
He's just an unlikable guy!
And mentally Unstable.
He says, I don't even know her but I have to be with her all the time"...um, that's crazy town.
He then confesses undying love to her! After knowing her 2 days and seeing her 3 times. (#paycho).
So responds by saying she's getting married and I'm Just praying for her that she gets away from gene! It was like watching a car crash knowing the film makers aare somehow going to seal this galaxy fate with gene.
Then (I'll be brief to not have to relive another evidence of gene's personality disorder sequence) basically gene is just super mean to the rich blond!
THEN...oh my god...is the longest most painful dance number on screen ever. It makes no sense and it Goes in FOR EVERRRRRRR!
It's agony.
THEN!
She comes back to him in the weirdest way I've ever seen on screen. Her fiancé, who hid her from Nazis, delivers her to gene with a big smile for gene and a Send off kiss for this poor girl. He's happy as a clam to be dumped for gene the night before his wedding.
Now she's got a dead broke street painter living in a shoe box who is NUTS and can Be mean.
UGH!!!
How the hell does anyone like this movie??? Drugs?
