The Young in Heart - Art Deco dream!
26 February 2016
Warning: Spoilers
I won't duplicate what other reviews have said about the charming plot, actors and the story line, they have said it well enough. But one thing that I found unmentioned are the beautiful Art Deco settings and feel to the film; it's an Art Deco lovers dream. The office that Paulette Goddard works in and where she meets Douglas Fairbanks Jr. is stunning to say the least. The showroom where the Flying Wombat cars (1938 Phantom Corsairs)are sold is equally beautiful. And then there are the cars, they have to be one of the most gorgeous cars ever designed. I looked into their history it's too bad that they never made it into production. I'm also a terrier fancier so I was so pleased to see Sealyham terriers worked into the story, a lot of them(the very last shot of the movie is well worth waiting for) They were very popular in Hollywood during the 1930's and early '40's and unfortunately have almost disappeared entirely. All in all, a beautifully made film that will leave you feeling good. A little corny but what's wrong with that?
