Best of Enemies

About This Movie

Best of Enemies is a delightful slice of early 30s cinema, blending comedy, music, and a touch of romance amid feuding families. You have Buddy Rogers and Marian Nixon as the young couple caught in the crossfire of their fathers’ bickering—Frank Morgan and Joseph Cawthorn. It’s interesting how the film captures that era's charm, with lively musical numbers and a light-hearted atmosphere despite the tension. The performances are quite engaging, especially the comedic timing of Morgan and Cawthorn, who really embody that classic rivalry. The pacing feels just right, keeping the audience entertained through its vibrant scenes, and there's something about that old-timey quality that makes it distinctive, a kind of nostalgia wrapped in fun.

Best of Enemies holds a certain intrigue for collectors, particularly due to its relative scarcity and the fact that the director remains unknown. It's been released in various formats over the years, but finding a good copy can be a bit tricky. Interest tends to fluctuate as collectors appreciate the film’s unique take on family dynamics and its entertaining performances, making it a noteworthy piece for those who enjoy classic comedies.
