OMG, that Crying!


I almost had to change the channel because Jean Arthur's crying started getting on my nerves. I love watching old movies, but too often they have women crying like they're children. Did women actually act like this back then, or did writers just like writing women this way? I'm not against crying, just doing it in a very annoying way.

The crying scene was definitely unnecessary. The last part would have been just right without it.

It was meant to be funny performance! It was not uncommon in films back then. I guess time has passed it by.
