    Brief but DELIGHTFUL

    Visually, I would have to give this little number a solid 10.

    Carol Lombard is at her exquisite best, and one could look at Gene Raymond for a long time without blinking. The cinematography (by Ted Tetzlaff) is absolutely wonderful, and the Columbia design studios provided visuals that are eminently worth recording.

    The night club where Lombard preforms is decorated with life-size bronze deer, cast after a model dug up at Pompeii. When Carol/Abby is taken to meet her stuffy potential in-laws, the famous Lombard nipples are pointing directly at her fiancée's mother (covered of course by a little something whipped up by the great costumier Travis Banton).

    There is a great scene where the newly-weds are standing at the rail of a big ocean liner, an iconic 30's image with Carol wearing a marvelous hat as only she can. The apartment that Gene/Rodney brings his wife home to is swellegant. (This is an actual 30s expression, as I found it in a catalogue of Warren McArthur furniture published c. 1934!)

    Mind you, it's not a "great" film, but it is very entertaining visually--the quintessence of the early 1930s. The original play was by S.N. Berman, so it certainly has good bones.

    And ANYTHING with Carol Lombard is well worth watching! Not only was she staggeringly beautiful, but her acting is exquisitely nuanced to well capture a broad range of emotions, whatever her role.

    Pleasing little melodrama.

    Carole Lombard wanted to get out of her next project at Paramount, "A Girl Without a Room" and so went to Harry Cohen at Columbia and asked him to find her something better. He came up with this respectable play by S.N. Behrman. The two main characters, Abby and Rodney, are very ably and sympathetically portrayed, and this saves the picture. On the other hand, Gene Raymond's "best friend" in the picture, Sig, played by Monroe Owsley is a perfect devil, tempting Rodney at every opportunity to ignore his wife and instead spend his nights drinking and his days at the race track. Sig is the personification of evil because he actually doesn't know any other reality that the one he's living sponging off his rich friend, Rodney. Carole on the other hand recognizes the potential in Rodney and does everything in her power to save him.

    This film is interesting and enjoyable light soap opera fair. At one point when Carole's character almost looses her composure in front of Rodney's father, the viewer is ready to applaud the explosion, but alas the moment passes. This film could have been well served by a little more action and violent emotion. Perhap's the problem stems from the rather static direction of director David Burton. This is also the first film of Carole's to benefit from the cinematography talents of Ted Tetzlaff. He was able to light Carole in such a way that removed that certain hardness from her face evident in earlier pictures.

    Momentary pleasantness

    On top of being a huge fan of classic film for goodness knows how long, my main reason for seeing 'Brief Moment' was Carole Lombard. A lovely and always well worth watching actress who died tragically, in one of the worst and most tragic ways to die, far too young with so much more to give. It is always interesting too to see older drama films, whether romantic or melodrama, and those dealing with society/class differences.

    'Brief Moment' may not be my definition of a great film and some film-goers today may find a fair deal to criticise it. It however was a very pleasant film that kept me most of the time engaged and entertained, a nice way to pass the time. One of those films that does a lot right but one does wish there could have been more. Just be prepared that there is very little challenging here (which for some actually is a good thing) and one should not demand too much.

    It is perhaps unexceptional from a story standpoint, it's pretty thin and sometimes it lacks momentum from moments of static direction and where it feels like a stage play that doesn't always properly open up.

    Excepting Monroe Owsley, wringing every ounce of juice out of the most interesting supporting character in the film, the supporting cast are a little bland in fairly sketchy roles. It also feels far too short.

    Visually on the other hand, 'Brief Moment' looks beautiful. The cinematography clearly loved Lombard, who looks absolutely radiant in the film, and it is very elegantly produced. "Say What You Mean..." is a lovely heartfelt song that does provide heart. While with little challenging and a little safe at times, the script has wit and class with thought-providing and well-meaning moments.

    The story may not be exceptional, but it is amiable, engaging and at least clearly knew what it wanted to be and who to aim it at. Owsley is great fun, but it's the leads that 'Brief Moment' is worth seeing for. Especially Lombard, by far the best thing about the film, a very classy and sensitive performance and one cannot take their eyes off her. Gene Raymond is a likeable leading man and their chemistry makes one believe in their love.

    Summing up, a very pleasant watch. 7/10 Bethany Cox

    Lombard Moralist

    Brief Moment is a moralistic melodrama, starring Carole Lombard and Gene Raymond.

    Instead of the bar singer, a gold-digger, who hunts down a millionaire to live in leisure and abundance for the rest of her life, we have a young, idealistic and passionate woman who intends, through marriage and love, devoted to her husband, to transform an alcoholic and idle playboy into a modest worker, proud to earn his living by his own means.

    As a script it is weak and unconvincing. American moralism, which makes Lombard a guardian angel, hidden in the vicious night of the city, to save a young millionaire from himself, from bad companies and from the vices of abundance and a frivolous life.

    A role reversal that would have pleased some audiences in the 1930s, but today, honestly, doesn't convince anyone.

    A bearable film, just for the pleasure that it is, always, to see Carole Lombard fill the screen with her charm and elegant beauty.

    Wastrel

    Brief Moment stars Carole Lombard and in this film she is gets married to wealthy Gene Raymond who has a nice arrangement with his father Reginald Mason and brother Donald Cook. Dad makes the money and the two of them spend it. Lombard is a nightclub singer who falls for Raymond, but tries to reform him.

    Back in the day a character like Raymond was called a wastrel. It's a 19th century word I wish would come back into common usage describing someone who just wants to have a good time and nothing else. They also are wealthy enough to see it works out that way.

    During a time when a quarter of the country was out of work such people were really looked down on. Lombard thinks Raymond has abilities but he won't use them. The crux of the story.

    One character does stand out that of Monroe Owsley as Raymond's best friend and fellow partygoer. He's a real piece of work.

    Brief Moment is a Depression Era story that probably would not work well with a contemporary audience. It's a museum piece of a film.

      In an early bit of dialogue, Gene Raymond's character listens to his parents say he shouldn't marry a blues singer, and he replies, "Whom should I marry - Schumann-Heink?," referring to a famous opera singer who had just retired in 1932. Ironically, when Raymond himself married in 1937 his bride was an opera singer as well as a movie star: Jeanette MacDonald.

      In the montage showing Abby and Rodney living the high life after they are married, the image of William Deane signing Rodney's $4000 allowance check with the same date (October 15th, 1932), and the same check number is used twice, even though several months have supposedly passed between checks.
