The Bishop Misbehaves (1935)
In this very silly British comedy, Maureen O’Sullivan is so cute she’s literally irresistible. When she meets Norman Foster and confuses him with a big time American gangster, he can’t resist letting her think he is. When she asks him to help her with an armed robbery to help avenge her father’s swindled fortune, he can’t resist helping her. Scandal, jail, or death mean nothing when persuaded by a pretty face. She really is a doll, and do you think she’ll look extra cute when she gets angry that he lied to her from the get-go? Since this is a romantic comedy, your guess is probably correct.
This is one of those quirky, small town movies where all the townsfolk are outlandish. It’s all a bit melodramatic and silly, but that’s part of the fun. The titular bishop, Edmund Gwenn, devours crime novels and has a secret yen to be a detective. His sister, Lucile Watson, is just as mischievous and interested in whodunnit mysteries. Of course, everything goes wrong, and nothing plays out the way it would in real life; if this niche genre is your cup of tea, check it out. It's pretty dated, but those who like cozy mystery books might think it’s very cute.
