Title: Brava! Bravissima!
Review: I, too, disagree with scotsladdie - this movie is an absolute gem, and I've been hoping for several years to see this one come out on DVD! This is one of my favorite B&W; comedies, with an enchantingly headstrong heroine and her equally (and charmingly) stubborn suitor. And, oh, yes - it's a mystery, too. I must say, I greatly prefer it to movies such as Bringing Up Baby (much as I like Cary Grant and K. Hepburn), in which the so-called hero is too muddled to attempt to hold his ground against a female as featherheaded as himself.You know, I heard somewhere that Mad Miss Manton was the first "screwball comedy" to use regular actors/actresses instead of those that specialized in comic performance. If so, it was an absolute stroke of genius! Should you have an appreciation for quick wit and the eternal battle of the sexes, might I recommend Mad Miss Manton?
