She Couldn't Say No (1952)
Jean Simmons plays a very wealthy woman who tries to express her gratitude to a small town by giving them money. The town saved her life, and she anonymously tries fixing people’s problems, but nearly everything she does backfires. She’s a city slicker and doesn’t fit in with the small town, but that doesn’t stop her from falling in love with Robert Mitchum. And in true romantic comedy fashion, the pair can’t stand each other and bicker incessantly at first.
This movie isn’t very good; it’s just too silly. If you like screwball comedies, you might like this one, but I don’t go in for that genre. Even with two very good-looking leads, the eye candy isn’t enough to save this movie.
My favorite scene in She Couldn’t Say No is one of Jean’s good intentions going awry. To be kind, she spoils the town drunk by sending him a very fine label of whiskey. Robert Mitchum scolds her when he finds out, telling her the town’s been watering down his jug for years since his liver can’t take the real stuff. It’s the most realistic part of the movie; the rest of it is just silly. If you want to see Bob and Jean together, you can rent the hilarious comedy The Grass is Greener or the film noir Angel Face instead.
