In 1940 right in the middle of the 6-film run of The Thin Man film series, MGM saw the chemistry between Loy and Powell and director W. S Van Dyke and decided to produce a screwball comedy together. The film was entitled I Love You, Again. Now for the 85th anniversary of this film's theatrical release, Warner Archive have restored and released this film on Blu-ray.
Synopsis: In this wildly original tale, Mr. Powell plays a big-city confidence man who awakens from a nine-year amnesia to discover he has become the manager of a small town pottery works, joined by the Elks and married Miss Loy. Partnered in a phony oil scam, he continues the charade only to find Miss Loy's about to divorce him for being such a fuddy-duddy! His problem: How to get the dough, avoid discovery and re-win the heart of his wife.
1940 seemed like a year of the romantic comedies. We saw men pursuing their former partners. This happened in films like His Girl Friday and The Philadelphia Story. I love you again, has a great pacing and a wonderful script and of course a great cast led by Myrna Loy and William Powell. It is a fun little screwball comedy.
Warner Archive Collection have transferred the film to Blu-ray in 1080p and is presented in 1.37:1 aspect ratio. The audio track is an English DTS-HD MA 2.0 Mono. There are English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing.
Warner Archive has done another outstanding job restoring this 85-year-old film to pristine looking condition. There are no signs of dirt or debris. The picture is crisp and clean, and the audio is clear. But a wonderful looking picture is not all this Blu-ray has going for it. Warner Archive added some nice bonus features.
Bonus Features:
* Lux Radio Theater broadcast with Myrna Loy and Cary Grant (6/30/1941)
* Fitzpatrick Travel Talks
* Cavalcade of San Francisco
* MGM Cartoon: The Milky Way
* Original Theatrical Trailer
The addition of the short subjects and the cartoon is such a nice thing. But for me I love the Lux Radio Theater Broadcast. Sometimes we focus on the movies so much we forget about the radio programs. These are such great forms of entertainment. I am so glad Warner Archive is working to let these live on for generations to come.
So if you enjoy William Powell and Myrna Loy in The Thin Man movies why not enjoy them in the screwball comedy I love You Again now n Blu-ray from Warner Archive. Head over to MovieZyng or Amazon and order your cop today!
Out of 4 film reels (4 being the best) the Blu-ray of I Love You Again receives....
