William Powell and Myrna Loy are best know for the six Thin Man movies they made but in all they starred together in 11 films. Love Crazy is one of those and like all the rest, the pair enjoyed and amazing chemistry and sense of timing whenever they worked together. In this film, they play Steve and Susan Ireland who are celebrating their fourth wedding anniversary when Susan's meddling mother Mrs. Cooper (Florence Bates) crashes the celebration and promptly breaks her ankle, lengthening her stay. She never liked Steve anyway so when she catches him talking to an old flame (played by Gail Patrick) she uses it to convince her daughter that Steve is cheating on her so she can divorce him. Steve then pretends that he is insane so he can prevent the divorce from going through. What ensues is a traditional screwball comedy involving a cast of wacky characters including the psychiatrists that Steven has to convince that he is insane. <br /> <br />The film was directed by Jack Conway who directed the pair in another one of their classic films, "Libeled Lady" from 1936. The dialog between Loy and Powell will remind viewers of the snappy, tit-for-tat lines from the Thin Man films as they trade barbs throughout. It's a very funny film and shows yet another example of how well these two worked together. Definitely see this one! <br /> <br />Reviewed by Tim Janson <br />
Viewer Reviews
I saw "Love Crazy" on TCM a few months ago, and I thought it was one of funniest movie (Screwball) comedy I have ever seen. I won't spoil if for you, but this man is very in love with his wife, and will do almost anything to keep her and his marriage intact, but a busy body mother-in-law will also do anything to break up the marriage for her daughter to a man she don't like.
To what length the husband will go, is what makes this movie so wonderful to watch, you will laugh at some of the thing he does to keep his wife. Man, he must really loves her.
We have had movies of mother-in-laws interfering in they children marriage before this movie and after this movie, but I think this is one the funniest, and it has the ever beautiful Myrna Loy as the wife, and William Powell as the husband. Their chemistry is just good together.
I would watch this movie just to look at Myrna Loy and admire her work. She is so so classy and that beautiful speaking voice, what can I say, it is so musical.
Good viewing, you will enjoy this movie.
