5 out of 5 stars Get out the hankies!   March 11, 2006

This is one of the best from its time. Pure melodrama. Grant, Lombard and Francis are in their prime here. It is interesting to see how our world viewed marriage and relationships in this era, the late 1930's. The storyline for its time was basic. Man is in a bad marriage (why do these people get together in the first place?). Man meets the right girl but current wife has other plans (his money and his name). Current wife plays every card to stop true love (can't a woman take a hint? He doesn't want you!). Turn of events (usually a tragedy) trips up current wife and destined couple come together.
I just wish that this would come to DVD. I would love to see how this could be remade but given Hollywood's penchant to completely miss the mark on these things, maybe it would be best that it be left alone. Besides I really don't want to see Hugh Jackman leave Catherine Zeta-Jones for Jennifer Aniston. Do you?

I love classic movies and this was great! I think In Name Only is one of Cary Grant's best movies - 2nd to An Affair to Remember. Carol Lombard and Kay Francis give an excellent performance as well. Can't go wrong with a classic love story like this.


5 out of 5 stars The best of both stars   July 19, 2005

Although not a comedy, this is the best Cary Grant movie ever. It draws you in the same way An Affair to Remember does and doesn't let go throguh out the entire movie.
Kay Francis does an amazing job playing the cold mean wife and Carole Lombard is at her best!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PUT THIS ON DVD



5 out of 5 stars Very good!   June 28, 2005
Movie and Music lover! (HOLLYWOOD, California)

I like old black and white movies and I adore the Hollywood stars of the golden era, such as Cary Grant and Carole Lombard. I wish this movie was available in DVD. Maybe soon it will be...

This movie is a romance drama, and I think that both Cary and Carole did a good job. The storyline was well done and believable. Kay Francis co-starred as the conniving, gold-digging wife of Cary who tries to thwart the love of Cary and Carole. In the end though, Kay's character gets her just do.

The imagery and cinematography was crisp and the lighting was very good.

This is not a movie that one sees on a usual basis (on tv or in the video stores), so this would be a nice addition to your classic movie collection at home.



5 out of 5 stars An Intensely Satisfying Romance   August 12, 2002
Evangeline (Flint Hills)

Cary Grant and Carole Lombard both broke out of their comic molds to make a very poignant romance, and the result was unforgettable movie magic. The plot quickly draws you in as the chillingly sinister Kay Francis seeks to thwart the happiness of lovers Grant and Lombard.

It's not just a story about good versus evil, however. This is also a movie about the battles that good people fight within themselves. Lombard convincingly struggles throughout the film with the realization that her love for Grant is going to break up his home. The film's resolution is very satisfying, very believable and undeniably romantic. You must see these two stars playing some of the best roles of their careers.
