Title: Clueless
Review: This propaganda vehicle penned by the producer David Selznick works over a collection of tired "situations" to spin out its feature length without touching base with anything genuine along the way. Even the marvellous Claudette Colbert is dragged down to what seems like a limp recitation as a result of the ponderous storyline and sometimes excruciatingly bad dialogue. A scene about a third the way into the film is representative of the strange aimlessness of the whole production. Colbert's character and an old admirer (overplayed by Joseph Cotton) are attending a USO dance when they are informed that a young flyer she knows, and with whom they had been chatting minutes before, has just been killed in a plane crash. The lad's death dulls their enjoyment of the evening for a minute or two... before they are back on the dance floor and he's making a pass at her. Nothing about this film recommends it to posterity.
