This is an early film for Joan Fontaine. She and Foster have a bit of chemistry but they don't have enough time together. The better plot is for them to somehow join forces to uncover this corruption. The ice scene is fun but there isn't enough of them.
Strictly an RKO programmer that passed the time in '37, a time when JOAN FONTAINE was being promoted as a new RKO starlet but given material that would have defeated any other ingenue. There is nothing here that suggests she would go on to an Oscar-winning career. PRESTON FOSTER carries the main burden, as does Herbert Mundin as his timid valet, and the whole thing has the look of a B-film that nobody had much faith in.
Interesting only to see the two leads in their prime but with very little chemistry between them.
Trivia note: Whether it's because his make-up is too dark or not, even in B&W Foster's eyes come across as bluer than Paul Newman's.
*** You Can't Beat Love (1937) Christy Cabanne ~ Preston Foster, Joan Fontaine, Herbert Mundin
In order that politics not separate them from being future bedfellows, Foster pulls his punches though it is hard to believe he could not know about the crooked dealings of his police chief Berton Churchill and aide Bradley Page. Still as it always love will out.
This RKO programmer sports a really nice and impressive cast. Besides those mentioned Herbert Mundin is Foster's valet, Paul Hurst his campaign manager and former day laborer, Harold Huber and Paul Guilfoyle as a pair of out of town gangsters.
Special mention has to go to Barbara Pepper. She's hired to work the old badger game on Foster instead she does it with Hurst. Identities not easy to mistake but she does it. Her scenes trying to seduce Hurst are a scream.
This is an amusing comedy and no doubt Fontaine was on the way up.
