Movie #107 "Talk of the Town" - let's see, Jean Arthur as a teacher choosing between Ronald Coleman (judge) and Cary Grant (a charming young guy on the run wrongly accused of a crime) trying to find the right criminal before the town hangs Grant --- what's there not to like? And the romantic comedy part works extra well because you really can't tell whom she will end up with until the very, very, very end --- which makes sense since Director Stevens filmed it with both endings and this is the one that the test audience chose. Cool story, cool ending, cool movie. A classic I had bought because of the three actors, esp. the golden-throated Ronald Coleman, and now I'm glad I have it in my library.

The Talk of the Town
(1942) NR
The dashing Cary Grant stars in The Talk of the Town -- his last collaboration with director-producer George Stevens -- as Leopold, an activist wrongly imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit. To avoid execution, Leopold breaks out of jail, hoping for the chance to prove his innocence. He meets a legal scholar and his girl, who end up helping him find justice … and perhaps even love.
