Spoilers. Observations. Reflections.
Reeve gets beaten up in some movies. I think that they are Superman and Somewhere in Time. In Morning Glory, he gets decked to the ground. He also gets cuffed and hauled away by the sheriff and his goofy, potbellied henchman. Reeve is always too cute to avoid ignorant jealous thugs, isn't he?
Morning Glory? I thought that that is a Katharine Hepburn movie of the 1930s. I guess that there is even yet a third or fourth film by that name. Why can't the creators be more original than that?
Reeve had quite an acting range. Go back to Superman. He's a super-hero. Somewhere in Time. He's a college-educated playwright. I think he portrays a seedy priest in Monsignor. In Morning Glory, he plays a nitwit, goofy bumpkin who gets wrongfully accused of crimes. What's a hottie hunk like him to do? He even nails an aw-shucks poor-me accent in Morning Glory. Gone is the cape. Gone is the better wardrobe.
I enjoy his character development in Morning Glory. I did not read the book, but I feel that Reeve does a fine job in this film. In a courtroom where his character is accused of wrongdoing, he gets a nice surprise when he learns that he is going to be a father. Spoilah: He gets exonerated of the accused crime.
Raffin is good. She is believable. She goes from an untrusting property-defender to a more softened character, but still has spunk and ingenuity. I enjoyed seeing her wield her ax when Reeve shows up on the scene. Take that, you bum! I advertised for a husband, but I didn't mean I wanted an ex-con.
The nitwit toward the end steals the show. He has the most emotion. Applause for his acting chops. He yells and screams that his buddy did the bad stuff. The sheriff wins the prize for nastiest character, and he was a hypocrite to boot.
Nina Foch? The aggressive Milo of An American in Paris? She's the one who arranges the one-person party for Gene Kelly to attend.
I have studied acting, film studies and cinematic critiquing at university. I have reviewed films for IMDb since May 2002, and this month marks 19 years for me with IMDb.
10/10.
