PodBill Just what I expected

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Neil Doyle In spite of everything that's wrong with IN PERSON, I stayed with it till the end, enjoying whatever chemistry there was between GINGER ROGERS and GEORGE BRENT in a very lightweight comedy that suffers from heavy handling and a contrived script. The story has about three places where the ending was in sight and then more material was added to draw out further plot complications. You'll see what I mean if you watch the movie.Rogers plays a pampered movie star who takes a swift trip to the country to get away from it all, with the help of GEORGE BRENT, who at first thinks she's the plain Jane girl he bumps into in a city elevator. She's wearing a ridiculous disguise and a hat with a veil that completely covers her face. Underneath the veil we discover she's wearing a buck teeth disguise with a black wig and glasses. The plot has her doctors advising her to wear a disguise if she's afraid of being mobbed by fans. Naturally, once she takes off her disguise it's only a matter of time before Brent will be attracted to her.The screwball elements get even sillier as the plot thickens and the material wears thin long before the film is over.Worthwhile only for Ginger's fans, who at least get to see her sing and dance in a couple of sequences--although none of the musical moments compare to anything she did with Astaire. In fact, they're staged rather clumsily and the songs are hardly what you'd call memorable. As a compensation, George Brent is a bit livelier than usual in a romantic comedy role.Summing up: A misfire of a screwball comedy with poor Alan Mobray getting the worst of the deal.

barrymn1 I've always wanted to see this movie, because it contains two extremely obscure and fabulous songs, "Don't Mention Love To Me" and "Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind", written for this film by Oscar Lavant and Dorothy Fields. There's a 1935 Brunswick 78 by Kay Thompson of these two rare tunes, and they're just about as good as any songs of the depression era.I finally got a VHS of this rather rare movie, and I was floored by how wonderfully mediocre it is. It moves at a fast pace and the acting is just fine. The screenplay is more than a bit silly.If I have a vote, I would get Warner Bros to include this in a Ginger Rogers DVD collection.It's absolutely a worthwhile film to watch and own.

gmatusk I am going to rate this a little higher than some of the other reviewers. The plot here is less awkward than the creaky plot mechanics of the 1936 Astaire/Rogers "Swing Time" (which, despite the artificiality of the "are cuffs on formal trousers in season?" plot device, is nevertheless a masterpiece). Most fans of musicals would agree that "Swing Time" rates a 10. "In Person" has at least one great song-and-dance number -- "Out of Sight, Out of Mind" with music by legendary Oscar Levant and lyrics by Dorothy Fields (among Fields's hundreds of songs is the Oscar-winning "The Way You Look Tonight" in "Swing Time"). Ginger looks sexily charming even with the fake buck teeth and the glasses. This film is not on the level of "Swing Time," but at least it has a less annoying plot.

moonspinner55 Ginger Rogers plays a popular movie actress (so famous, in fact, that her face is on the cover of every single magazine at the newsstand) who seeks solace and anonymity with a businessman in the mountains while disguised as a wallflower. Rogers, who is convincing incognito on and off for the first twenty minutes, doesn't have much to work with here, although she does get to do a cute tap dance/cooking sequence. Otherwise, this star-vehicle is mighty thin, and co-stars George Brent and Grant Mitchell are both lackluster. Not a bad beginning, but by the midway point it has lost all inspiration. ** from ****
