I thought I'd seen everything Curtiz had done. TCM snuck this one in late this afternoon. Maybe it should be an 8pm feature around a minor holiday. It's that good.
With great chemistry two of my favorites, Russell and Carson, create a memorable depiction of married life thru the first half of the 20th century, while maneuvering their ups and downs, rearing children and finally within view of the '39 NY World's Fair, as the Polish Pavilion shuts down, personally struggle with the onslaught of WWII; lots o' emotional swings supported by numerous others in the movie, all of whom deliver.
It's too bad Russell and Carson didn't pair up for more films. They work together as well as any of their other pairings.
