Touching (if flawed) story of likeable young married couple.

Made for Each Other, Jimmy Stewart and Carole Lombard make an incredibly appealing couple, one whose everyday middle-class joys and sorrows you like sharing. That’s all there is to the movie, pretty much, Jimmy and Carole get married, have a baby, deal with in-laws, money troubles, changes in their relationship, all the things everyone does. It’s the opposite of an Action Flick, here domestic sorrows like pay cuts and not having a baby sitter on New Year’s Eve are treated as seriously as real people treat them, and the movie is well made enough that you care. Who couldn’t care about such nice, funny, sensitive people? For much of its length, it’s a better “Penny Serenade”.

The place where it falls apart is the ending, which is a ludicrously inappropriate melodrama about flying medicine in from thousands of miles away in a storm, it just doesn’t belong in the same movie. But, I like the story behind it: Like a character in the movie, producer David Selznick’s brother Myron (a power agent) was taken seriously ill, and was basically given up for dead. A doctor said that the only thing that could save him was a rare/experimental drug that wasn’t available in LA, it had to be flown in from the east coast in terrible weather. The Selznick family sweated for hours, trying to keep in touch with a heroic pilot who was risking his life to save a stranger. When the pilot landed safely and Myron was saved, David Selznick the workaholic producer said “This it too good to waste on Myron. Let’s put it in a picture!” I just wish he’d waited for a better place to use it.
