SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Sturges delivers the same gleefully intricate screwball machinery: romantic deception, class comedy, rapid-fire reversals, and an undercurrent of genuine feeling beneath the elegant nonsense.
02
Why this pick
Its separating spouses weaponize charm and jealousy with the same buoyant sophistication, letting remarriage comedy become a nimble battle of wit, timing, and lingering attachment.
03
Why this pick
For the pre-Code frankness and polished absurdity: a romantic triangle treated with Lubitsch’s light touch, urbane dialogue, and delight in arrangements that refuse conventional neatness.
04
Why this pick
A wartime housing scramble turns into warm, exceptionally timed romantic comedy, sharing the pleasure of obstacles, improbable social configurations, and affection emerging through comic chaos.
05
Why this pick
Another Depression-era fantasy of money, status, and escalating misunderstandings, paced with breezy elegance and a similarly sharp eye for how wealth distorts romance and self-image.
