Calm Yourself (1935)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Simply Perfect

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

I'm not going to try to tell you this is a great film, but it's a decent B film, and -- a rarity -- it has a very different story line than you've probably seen before.Robert Young, who does nicely here, plays an ace advertising man who is fired from his job, despite being in love with the bosses daughter...or perhaps because he is in love with the bosses daughter! So, he opens his own business -- a sort of "I'll do anything to help you...for pay" business. This leads to finding a new love interest, though he doesn't know it at the time, and what is mistaken for a kidnapping.Considering the year -- 1935 -- this is more sophisticated than many of the films of that era. Not one for the DVD shelf, but a rather pleasant way to spend about 90 minutes.

It's not terrible. It actually gets better as it goes along. But emblematic of the frantic efforts for a laugh is the shoe-eating dog: Robert Young, who has set himself up as someone who can resolve sticky situations for pay, finds himself saddled with a huge dog. The dog is ill behaved in the extreme and neither cute nor likable. When things seem to have slowed down, the dog is, no pun intended, trotted out again to give proceedings a hectic flavor.Madge Evans, the daughter of client Ralph Morgan, is appealing. Betty Furness is fine as the girl Young is after when we meet him. Nat Pendleton is always good for a smile when he shows up, as he does so often in movies of this decade.There are far worse movies. But this one can get on one's nerves in its attempts at being funny every second.

This movie is carried on Robert Young's charm and youthful optimism that it will get him out of any jam, and into the land of milk and honey. Don't let the fact that the plot hinges on Young's character getting a millionaire's baby who just happened to be handed over by the baby's nurse, who looks more like street person than the nurse of a milionaire. The baby is given to his would be rival to Young's first girl friend, who happens to be the daughter of his boss. Young gets the baby because his fledgling business - Calm Yourself; takes on clients with such problems. Like what to do with a baby. If this sounds crazy, watch the movie. Its one of those movies that somehow can take the edge off a blustery day and bring in a little black and white sunshine.

This programmer's plot doesn't always make sense, but it is nonetheless an amusing way to spend an hour and 10 minutes. Young is appealing as always, but quite a bit scrappier than in his later, long-running TV roles as Jim Anderson and Marcus Welby. Evans also is very likable. With a supporting cast including such dependable 1930s performers as Nat Pendleton and Claude Gillingwater and future 'Today' regular Betty Furness, this breezy comedy is well worth a look.
