Movie #655 ........................"Cassanova Brown"

Movie #655 "Cassanova Brown" -- what a silly title, isn't it? It was a movie I hadn't seen, and I really am not a huge Gary Cooper fan, but I noticed that Theresa Wright was in it, and so I thought she'd be strong at least --- and the storyline sounded so silly, I couldn't imagine the two of them in this. And it WAS silly, really! It was a screwball kind of comedy ----- not as good as Coop's "Balls of Fire" (that was a better script!), but still kind of cute, in a weird sort of way. I'd recommend seeing "Balls of Fire" first --- and if that suited you, then you can try this --- because this really is a lot of silliness tied up in a romantic knot! I rated it 3 out of 5 stars Casanova Brown1944NR94 minutes Cass Brown (Gary Cooper) is about to marry for the second time; his first marriage, to Isabel (Teresa Wright), was annulled.
