Review of Honeymoon for Three

I was drawn to watch this by the presence of Charlie Ruggles in the cast. Ruggles has always been, to me, a superb - and underrated - comic actor. It was interesting to see him here in his younger years, and he did not disappoint. But to me the big surprise was George Brent's marvelous comic skills. As others have noted, he is known mostly for straight romantic roles, in which he is rather wooden. His comedy skills are a revelation, and one wishes he had done more in that line. Also adding to the fun is the sparklingly witty script, a marvel of farcical whimsy. The plot is a mere wisp of comic thread, but the fun is in the great comic acting and the great script. Altogether a totally delightful seventy-five minutes.
