Full page ad for “They Knew What They Wanted”, starring Carole Lombard and Charles Laughton. Directed by Garson Kanin — Hollywood magazine, Nov. 1940
Looking at cast and director, I’d have naively assumed this was a comedy rather than “1940’s Greatest Drama”

You should watch the whole film, but if you've only got 2 minutes to spare, then I implore you to check out the #Lubitsch episode of IF I HAD A MILLION. Instant smile on your face.
