“Twentieth Century” (1934) 2/4 - It’s got all the right elements, but the telling causes this and prototype comedy to drag. The scenes with and trying to out-theatre the other are insanely fun even if feels like he is more acting than ‘reacting’. From a writing standpoint, it’s interesting to stack against , , and ’s better known film, “His Girlfriend Friday” (4/4), which never fails to dazzle.
