As Seen On Screen

As Seen on Screen offers readers a chance to see film reviews for the everyman, without all of the clutter and nonsense fed to the average filmgoer. Plain, straitforward, to the point. That's our goal. We offer a diverse catalogue of which to choose from, from silent comedies to modern superhero films. Final note: this is a family friendly blog. We only review films rated G through PG-13, plus the unrated films of yesteryear. So if this sounds like your cup of tea, pull up a crumpet and enjoy. Thanks for your support!

Trailer Unavailable















     Merrily We Live
1938  NR  COMEDY  1h 35min
CAST— Constance Bennett
MUSIC— Marvin Hatley  DIRECTOR— Norman Z. McLeod  BASED ON— The Dark Chapter; A Comedy of Class Distinctions (novel), by E. J. Rath

     Do they ever. A family of misfits take in a well-mannered drifter (for you see, the matriarch’s newest hobby is rehabilitating hobos), clean him up, and present him to the world as their new chauffeur. Big sister soon finds herself falling for her handsome hired help while he plays at being the innocent. A fine vehicle for Constance Bennett but otherwise the film practically screams of My Man Godfrey (1936).
OUR RATING— ** ½
