Merrily We Live

1938 · 95 min

A fizzy, door-slamming screwball romp where class confusion and romantic sparks keep the mood buoyant and featherlight.

Tagline: Come on in...the fun's grand...and the romance glorious...when a glamour girl and a "gentleman tramp" romp dizzily into love.

How it feels: Light, whimsical, romantic and absurd. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Class, love, family, identity
Content: Mild sexual content. No violence, gore or swearing.
