So, 'It Happened in New York' is a 1935 comedy that brings a certain charm of the era. The pacing feels just right for a light-hearted romp, with the cab driver and movie star dynamic giving off a nice energy. You can really feel the bustling atmosphere of New York City woven throughout, almost like a character in itself. The performances are engaging; there's a sincerity in the interactions that feels genuine, not overly polished. It's the kind of film that captures the hustle of the city and the quirks of its inhabitants, making it distinctive in its own right. Definitely a nice slice of 1930s comedy.
Interestingly, 'It Happened in New York' hasn’t seen a ton of re-releases, making it a bit of a rarity in collector circles. The film exists mainly on VHS and limited DVD editions, with few prints floating around. There’s a niche interest in films from this period, and this one's offbeat charm certainly draws the attention of those looking to complete their comedy collections. If you stumble upon a copy, it might be worth holding onto.
