So This is Love? was another early Frank Capra production for fledgling Columbia Pictures. The hero, dress designer Jerry McGuire (William Collier Jr.), is tired of being considered a wimp. After business hours, Jerry secretly takes boxing lessons, enabling him to knock the stuffings out of his burly rival Spike Mullins (Johnnie Walker). Jerry’s newfound pugilistic skills wins him the affections of store clerk Hilda Jensen (Shirley Mason), who’s just car-razy about “cave men.” Filmed in a fast three weeks, So This is Love? was completed before Frank Capra’s Matinee Idol but released afterward. Leading lady Shirley Mason was the sister of Viola Dana, who starred in Capra’s initial Columbia effort, That Certain Thing.

44 ) Here Is Germany (1945)
Review Website Ranks:
- Rotten Tomatoes Critic: 15
- Rotten Tomatoes Users: 29
- IMDB User Review Score: 41
- Letterboxd User Score: 36
A “know-your-enemy” propaganda film similar to “Know Your Enemy: Japan” and “My Japan”, films about Japan with the same objective. It contains a history of the prelude to WW II, the death camps and other Nazi war crimes, and commentary on the character of the German people. Directed by Frank Capra, this film is in essentially the same format as his “Why We Fight” series. It was intended to be shown to American troops participating in the invasion and occupation of Germany. But by the time it was ready, events had overtaken it — Germany was already well on its way to falling — so the film was shelved. Although it is readily available for public-domain viewing on the Internet, it has never been widely distributed or shown.

In this witty romp, Jean Harlow plays an upper-crust socialite who bullies her reporter husband (Robert Williams) into conforming to her highfalutin ways. The husband chafes at the confinement of high society, though, and yearns for a creative outlet. He decides to write a play and collaborates with a fellow reporter (Loretta Young); the results are unexpectedly hilarious, especially when Young shows up at the mansion with a gaggle of boozehound reporters in tow. With snappy, ribald dialogue (allowable in those pre-Hays Code days), Capra keeps the gags flying fast and furious, taking special delight in having Williams’s journalist pals rib him endlessly over his kept-man status. Platinum Blonde was a great success at the time of its release during the class-conscious Depression; for better or worse, its star Harlow was identified with the tag “platinum blonde” until her untimely death. –Jerry Renshaw
