The Talk of the Town
George Stevens / US, 1942 / 118 min.
Classic from Columbia Pictures, which recently celebrated its centenary. Cary Grant in an unusual role: as a left-wing activist on the run, he crosses swords with a law professor (Ronald Coleman). George Stevens gets the best out of both performers in a comedy with a contemplative undertone.
A platonic love triangle, heated exchanges between an activist factory worker accused of a fatal arson attack and a law professor, giving full consideration to the pros and cons: the screenplay for The Talk of the Town is anything but predictable.
