Movie #2164 "In Name Only" (TMC) I never saw Grant and Lombard paired together in a film, so that made me want to watch this when I saw it being shown on TMC. I'm glad I did because they are both so good at what they do --- Even though the story is a bit thin, it was a good portrait of how arranged marriages for the upper class can get sticky when you find your soulmate out of your class. Kind of maudlin at times, but on the whole well worth the watch. Maybe the film could have used a bit more humor infused in it because I know they both have great comic ability! But I'd give this a 4.
