    Fred MacMurray Hits the Skids

    Cruising through the Panama Canal, pretty Carole Lombard (as Maggie King) resists the advances of date-hungry Fred MacMurray (as Skid Johnson), who is celebrating his last day in the US Army. When Ms. Lombard jumps ship, Mr. MacMurray manages to put himself in her driver's seat. The couple fight and bicker while dating, which you can safely bet means love and marriage are on deck. Credit the film will putting a little delay in that department, however. Lombard gets interested when MacMurray pulls out his trumpet. He turns out to be a professional musician. Eventually MacMurray's boozing "Skid" hits the skids...

    The stars are an attractive couple with natural chemistry, but there is too little spark in this middling story. Moreover, MacMurray plays a character written with little appeal. Lombard's character seems not too bright. You can tell "Skid" has a problem. It's too bad, because MacMurray's performance is fine. Watch for a young and handsome Anthony Quinn to try to pick up Lombard, and brawl with MacMurray. Also, lovely young Dorothy Lamour (as Anita Alvarez) plays the exotic other woman. Charles Butterworth (as Harry) is MacMurray's loyal male pal, and Franklin Pangborn appears too briefly. It's cast high, but swings low.

    ****** Swing High, Swing Low (3/12/37) Mitchell Leisen ~ Fred MacMurray, Carole Lombard, Dorothy Lamour, Charles Butterworth

    rom-com comes and goes

    Maggie King (Carol Lombard) is working as a hairdresser on a cruise ship crossing the Panama canal. She befriends US Army soldier Skid Johnson (Fred McMurray) in his last days guarding the canal. They get into a bar fight with The Don (Anthony Quinn) and are stuck in court when Maggie's ship leaves. She is stranded forced to live with Skid and his pal Harry. Skid starts playing trumpet and Maggie dancing at a local club.

    This is very early Anthony Quinn although not the earliest that I've seen. Lombard and McMurray are good comedic performers and they give it the good old college try. They generate a bit of humor, but it is not a steady stream. Their chemistry comes and goes. The same can be said for the movie.

    swing high swing low

    Ist half is kinda fun, with a nice, relaxed tale of three Americans down on their luck in Panama. Director Mitchell Leisen, who cut his teeth as an art director, puts it to good use, along with cinematographer Ted Tetzlaff, in managing to make the viewer (well this viewer, at least) feel they were in Panama City and not the Paramount backlot. And Lombard and MacMurray have good chem. Unfortunately, the second half, set largely in NYC and featuring that hoariest of story/chestnuts...the guy who goes all to pot when his true love leaves him...is a bit of a comedown. Give it a C plus. PS...How long a career did Tony Quinn have, for cryin out loud? This film was made in 1937 and he looks at least as old as MacMurray, if not older.

    Sentimental romance

    Sentimental film goers will find a gem in Swing High, Swing Low, a romantic 1930s drama starring Fred MacMurray and Carole Lombard. She's a singer, and he's a trumpet player, and together they make beautiful music. I'm just kidding; it's not that corny. But you're going to have to be in the mood for something like this, like right after you watch Sentimental Journey or Random Harvest.

    I like Carole infinitely better in dramas than screwball comedies, so if you prefer her quick banter, you might not like this one. I happen to really like Fred MacMurray, and paired with Carole, they make a pretty cute couple. Fred has to contend with his inner demons, as well as a couple of unwanted suitors for Carole, but even with all those problems, he's easily endears the audience.

    Be on the lookout for a very young Anthony Quinn. He's only twenty-two years old, on the screen for about three minutes, and doesn't speak a word of English! All in all, while I might not buy a copy of this movie, I am glad I rented it since it's always fun to see a sweet, black-and-white romance.

    A bit too heavy on the nose

    I am quite the Mitchell Leisen fan so it was a great anticipation that I rented this movie but the print I got was extremely bad, so worn down from use and scorched seemingly beyond repair, the movie was so dark. So dark that in certain scenes that are cinematographed in the dark, you can't see a single thing. That said, I believe I share the same opinion as the first review of this movie. It starts out unusually and does not tote the lines and rhythms of your typical Hollywood 30's movie. Heck, not even your typical Hollywod movie of any era. It seems the director has been influenced by the Europeans because there is a certain caustic realism to the proceedings from the opening shot which is so crafted in camera movement and placement as Maggie (Carole Lombard) and Skid (Fred Macmurray) meet. You half expect them to start singing "Make believe" from Show boat.It starts with a few laughs and poor Anthony in a one scene role where he speaks not a word of English gets slapped around by Freddie. Skids is a bum who doesn't care that he's a bum. That's why he signs up in the army where he can hide from the world. He's just been released though and in a set of screenplay shenanigans, she misses her boat for New York. This is when the movie kicks into high gear and we begin to get those French movie of the sixties vibes to the whole proceedings. The scenes are so well acted by Lombard and Cecil Cunningham, the movie gains a pulse. MacMurray is good too as he and Lombard fall for each other as she nurtures his talent for the trumpet. Then the temptress arrives in the form of Dorothy Lamour. Enough with plot. The movie has fantastic montage sequences that dazzled me. They are very good. And Lombard scores a home run in this movie but in the second half, a bit more is called of Freddie and he fails to deliver the goods. With a heavily melodramatic ending and an actor you don't believe, the movie falls short but since it is not your typical movie in structure, set design, and direction. It is worth a look. For what is what it was one of the 37 hits of the 1936-37 season. I don't know its exact rank though.

      Skid Johnson: What can they do to me? They can fire me. All right, I've already quite. I'm all washed up in the army. This is my last day. Say, there's an idea - we oughta celebrate.

      Marguerite 'Maggie' King: Yeah, the army will probably do the celebrating!
