Fairly Typical 30's Melodrama

Under discussion:

Found at my local Wal-Greens for a dollar, the version I purchased has three films on it: "Made For Each Other", "Pot O' Gold" and a cartoon. I found the film to be VERY uneven tone-wise, but the film was saved from sinking (and getting a lower rating) by two things: the cinematography. More specifically, shot composition. There are a select few very picturesque scenes in the film that make it quite interesting to watch. Jimmy Stewart. He's just too darned wholesome to completely dislike, even when his acting is wooden, which it is several times here, but he makes up for it in the later, more melodramatic scenes. Everyone else is hamming it up and sobbing, whereas he gets surprisingly angry. I don't think I've ever seen him in another role where he yells so realistically at another character. I would rate this film as "for Jimmy Stewart completists".
