You Can't Take it With You (1938)

You Can't Take it with You has a very early scene that shows Wall Street in the late 1930s. Nearly 75 years later, I walked that very street in New York City. It looks exactly the same. Sure the cars, clothes, and other things have changed but it was mesmerizing to see where I walked recently be there in black and white film.

The movie was cute and had a very simple story. I would venture to guess that the reason this movie took home the Best Picture award was the cast involved in making it. They seemed to genuinely love making the film and working together.

So far, this is the earliest Jimmy Stewart movie I have seen. He was 6'3 and towered over his costars. Jean Arthur would have been in her late 30s when she made this film. She looked wonderful! Maybe the women who resort to Botox in their late 30s need to find out what her secret was. Drew Barrymore's great uncle, Lionel, was also in the film. He just looks like a man you would know in your own life.
