Review of Day-Time Wife

Day-Time Wife (1939)
6/10
cursed cast
3 September 2020
Yikes. what a cursed cast. Tyrone Power dies at 44. Linda Darnell dies at 41. and she was only 16 when she plays the wife in this film. pretty creepy. so young, and it really shows. Warren William died at 53. Joan Davis, who plays a secretary, died at 48. Mildred Gover (plays the maid) only made it to 41. Binnie Barnes actually made it to 95! In the story, when Ken is fooling around with his secretary, his wife Jane takes matters into her own hands, in the name of revenge. and that includes pouring perfume on the dog. how bizarre. there's just no magic between the actors. the sound quality is pretty bad. the script is pretty rough as well. the whole thing is like an episode of I Love Lucy. Joan Davis was the best part of this... she really steals the show. the rest of it is just very okay. shows on Fox Metro channel. Directed by Greg Ratoff. was an accomplished actor and director. and of course, was Max Fabian in "All About Eve"!
