Made for Each Other
Fate brought them together. Will life tear them apart?
Oscar winner James Stewart earns himself "a place among the screen's most notable actors" (Hollywood Spectator), and Carole Lombard delivers "the best performance of her career" (Newsweek) in this humor-laced marital drama that's as "refreshing as a breath of spring" (Motion Picture Herald).
Attorney John Mason (Stewart) marries Jane (Lombard) after a blissful, one-day courtship. Life is wonderful... until they are overwhelmed by the demands of John's hard-hearted boss, a meddlesome mother-in-law and the birth of a baby. Just when the marriage is at the breaking point, a crisis turns their world upside down. Will their newfound love falter... or are the young newlyweds truly made for each other?

A Classic Drama - fairweather
A young lawyer is making good on his aspirations, with a wife at home and a baby on the way, when the law firm chooses someone else and things do not go their way. Will they fold and the marriage disintegrate? As the young man questions everything he is working for in life, he begins to see larger issues than work success in play. Anchored in a time before easy divorce, this play speaks to the importance of the continuance of family, faith and life issues in light of difficult situations thrown in the way. The ultimate triumph in the film through the difficulties makes it a thoughtful piece as well as a decent watch. The parts are well played, and the dilemma is engagingly written and acted. Worth renting.Made for Each Other - TheWiz
My Mother would talk up a storm about Carole Lombard and lately, I've been into viewing her films. Well, we are not fans. We appreciate Myrna Loy in this genre. This film has less to do with comedy and should be described as melo-drama. Carol is a woman basically living a nightmare - everything she touches goes wrong. When we should feel moved by her trials, we don't. James Stewart, her husband, is not much of a thinker for a bright young lawyer and manages to make poor decision after poor decision. The scene I did enjoy is one of James face in the hospital. The lighting and texture of James face was mesmerizing. I'm certain that Hitchcock thought the same when he reviewed this film. Sorry, we cannot recommend this movie.
