The Talk of the Town, 4K Review!

 

Nora (Jean Arthur) is trying to figure out what to do about Leopold Dilg (Cary Grant), who’s landed on her doorstep looking for a safe place to hide after escaping from jail, when her summer tenant, stuffy lawyer Michael Lightcap (Ronald Coleman) arrives early to take up residence. Believing Leopold to be innocent, she stashes the wounded Dilg in the attic. Keeping Leopold hidden becomes impossible but Nora and Leopold set about to win Michael’s sympathy to Dilg’s legal plight without revealing his identity. Constant, ridiculous and comic mix-ups and mishaps threaten to destroy the trio’s friendship and potentially lead to Leopold facing a hostile mob for a crime he didn’t commit. George Stevens deftly explores corrupt small-town politics and the individual’s responsibility to society while fueling a fast-paced romantic comedy with lightness and charm.

The Talk of the Town was original released in 1942 with this 4K release being released in 2024. The movie itself is just under two hours in length so not too long. I have recently been getting more into classic films and this was a really good movie.
