Seven years before staring in the unforgettable "It's a Wonderful Life", Jimmy Stewart stared in the forgettable "It's A Wonderful World", appearing opposite top billed Claudette Colbert. The two play a PI and poetess respectively who end up on the lamb trying to prove a drunken millionaire innocent of killing his mistress. A screw ball comedy, but awful slow for one, though Colbert tries to make up for that by being unusually manic, which I found a trifle off-putting. Stewart seemed to still be getting his sea legs as an actor, though this is actually the same year as "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" so it's probably the script, and maybe direction. **
