The Voice of the Turtle (1947)

One of the most memorable romantic comedies I've ever seen

[10/10 · 17 December 2007]

I have seen this movie not that often than ones I have in DVD and video but I swear that this would not only be the first movie I've seen in B&W, but also it is the best romantic and cutest movie ever made! Eleanor Parker plays Sally Middleton, a stage actress who was dumped so brokenheartedly by her former. She swore that she'll never ever love again. Then her friend Olive Lashbrooke (Eve Arden) comes into the picture and holds two dates for the weekend. She thinks love is a game where there has to be more than one player. She decided that she'll cancel her date with Sgt. Bill Paige (played by Ronald Reagan) and go with the other, Ned (Wayne Morris). She introduce Bill to Sally and left Sally with Bill for the weekend. Well, all magic of love happens despite the fact that Sally never wants to love again. Bill was a little sleepy and the only thing Sally could do is offer him the couch to sleep on. It's rainy and he has no where else to go. And so he stayed with her all weekend. I would really love for this movie to be on DVD! I would buy it even if it costs so much!
