Talk of the Town (1942)

School teacher Jean Arthur must hide wrongly accused arsonist Cary Grant in the attic of the home she’s renting to law professor Ronald Colman. Smart, satisfying screwball comedy is wonderfully well constructed and bears obvious tonal similarities to the work of Frank Capra. Grant and Colman’s friendly sparing a real treat. Movie very effective at keeping you guessing which of the two leading men Arthur will wind up with, though I personally would have liked to see her end up with the other man. Still, very satisfying. Thumbs Up.
