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
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.
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.

Marguerite 'Maggie' King: You know, soldiers on sentry duty aren't supposed to talk.
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!
