Directed by Wesley Ruggles
USA 1935
This often overlooked comedy gem marks the first teaming of screen legends Claudette Colbert (The Bride Comes Home, The Palm Beach Story) and Fred MacMurray (The Princess Comes Across, The Apartment) and is the epitome of a New York City urban fantasy. Newspaper reporter Peter Dawes (MacMurray) and stenographer Marilyn David (Colbert) meet regularly on a park bench sharing popcorn along with their dreams. Their budding romance is soon threatened by a chance meeting between Marilyn and Charles Gray (Ray Milland, Beau Geste, The Lost Weekend), an English nobleman visiting America. Marilyn’s fantasy of landing a handsome millionaire becomes a reality as she is pursued by Charles in a whirlwind courtship, leaving Peter fighting to reclaim his love. When the press learns of the affair, it turns into an international tabloid scandal for everyone involved. Directed by Wesley Ruggles (I’m No Angel), The Gilded Lily helped launch the career of Fred MacMurray who would make six more films with Claudette Colbert over the years. *** Secretary Marilyn "Lynn" David falls in love with British aristocrat Charles Gray Granville, to the dismay of her best friend, reporter Pete Dawes, who secretly loves her. When Pete learns that the already-engaged Gray has hurt Lynn, he fabricates an article casting her as "No Girl," who refused to marry a callous aristocrat. But when the publicity brings Lynn unexpected fame, and Gray returns, she is forced to choose between the two men. |

On their
Blu-ray,
Kino use a DTS-HD Master dual-mono track (16-bit) in the
original English language. The Gilded Lily
is a passive film audio-wide, with modest depth and the score is
uncredited by Sigmund Krumgold (Union
Pacific), Heinz Roemheld (Ruby
Gentry,
I,
Jane Doe, Dangerous,
The
Monster that Challenged The World, The
Land Unknown,
The Mole People, 1933's
The Invisible Man) and Tom Satterfield (Go'in
To Town) sounding occasionally less consistent matching the
video inferiorities. Some may recognize An der schönen, blauen Donau,
Op. 314 by Johann Strauss. Kino offer optional English
subtitles on their Region 'A'
Blu-ray.
The Kino
Blu-ray
Wesley Ruggles' The Gilded Lily
is a well-realized romantic comedy. An enjoyable effort with a
charming cast. It has an honest working girl falling for a rich playboy
all the while the sly newspapermen is hoping to catch her eye - under a
backdrop of nightclub hype, lavish ocean liners and park bench,
simplistic, joy. It's lovely. The Kino Blu-ray
