Movie #1136 "Suddenly, it's spring"  - I watched this on TCM the other night, and it was not that good of a romantic comedy for the 1940s.  There are some so much better --- I always like watching Fred MacMurray, but Paulette Goddard isn't that funny to me.   The story was really silly --- he keeps staying on a train, getting off at stations and calling his future wife, promising her that he will get his present wife to sign some divorce papers --- Goddard, the present wife, is in a particularly bad situation because she gives speeches about how to keep your marriage in tact even during the war years --- see the problem?  I have to be truthful and say, I am writing this critique without having seen the last five minutes becauseI seriously I  fell asleep because  I was so bored. so sufficient it to say, I don't recommend this one much -- there are so many better ones, i.e.
screwball comedies that are so much more believable!

    

SUDDENLY, IT'S SPRING     1947        I'd give it 3 stars out of 5   

Fred wants to start a new life with a new wife, but it isn't easy to give Paulette the gate for another mate.
