Swing High, Swing Low (1937)
Sentimental film goers will find a gem in Swing High, Swing Low, a romantic 1930s drama starring Fred MacMurray and Carole Lombard. She’s a singer, and he’s a trumpet player, and together they make beautiful music. I’m just kidding; it’s not that corny. But you’re going to have to be in the mood for something like this, like right after you watch Sentimental Journey or Random Harvest.
I like Carole infinitely better in dramas than screwball comedies, so if you prefer her quick banter, you might not like this one. I happen to really like Fred MacMurray, and paired with Carole, they make a pretty cute couple. Fred has to contend with his inner demons, as well as a couple of unwanted suitors for Carole, but even with all those problems, he’s easily endears the audience.
Be on the lookout for a very young Anthony Quinn. He’s only twenty-two years old, on the screen for about three minutes, and doesn’t speak a word of English! All in all, while I might not buy a copy of this movie, I am glad I rented it since it’s always fun to see a sweet, black-and-white romance.
