There's a time in film when Margaret Sullavan was on top of her game. She was no beauty queen but what she had was...charm. She had lots of charm.
This film has good performances all around. From Margaret Sullavan to Herbert Marshall to the side performances. Look for Reginald Owen as the waiter. He steals a lot the scenes.
Margaret Sullavan plays Luisa Ginglebuscher, a girl raised in an orphanage, who gets an opportunity to work at a movie theater as an usher. Problem is, she's never been outside the confines of her orphanage so she sees life through rose color glasses. Every day there she had to do 1 thing to make someone's life better. She had to be a good fairy...every day. She's very innocent to say the least. From this she remembers that she has to do the same for her new surroundings. So she picks out someone from a phone book to do her good deed. After this, the fun starts.
This is another one of those 30's gems with a solid cast and an even better story. The 30's was a time when innocence in film still existed. Stories about people being good and doing good things for others. This one is one em with a loads of heart and charm. A real feel good film for its time.
