Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Walter Ruben. Copyright 29 July 1941 by Loew's Inc. A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Picture. New York opening at the Capitol (would you believe?): 31 July 1941. U.S. release: 1 August 1941. Australian release: 4 December 1941. 10 reels. 96 minutes. Cut by at least 100 feet in Australia. U.K. and Australian release title: CASH AND CARRY.SYNOPSIS: This time, Maisie, who performs so many good deeds each day that she should be made an honorary Girl Scout for life, is bringing aid and comfort to a forlorn young prize-fighter who wants to quit before he becomes world's champion and his mother finds out where his money is coming from.NOTES: Number 5 of the nine-picture Maisie series. COMMENT: Title changes are often a sure clue that a movie is in trouble. This one posed an additional difficulty for M-G-M's overseas branch offices in that at 96 minutes it ran far too long for a "B" feature.Maisie's fans were mostly women, who were not likely to be attracted to a boxing yarn — despite the presence of some real fighters like Johnny Indrisano and Eddie Simms. For once I sympathize with the studio, for this entry is a dud in all departments, — script, acting, title, and especially direction.Why was the movie re-titled "Cash and Carry"? Well, you see the hero doesn't want to be a boxer. He wants to open a grocery store.

utgard14 Another enjoyable Maisie movie starring Ann Sothern. This time around Maisie tries to help a young boxer (Robert Sterling, Sothern's future husband) and winds up falling for his jerk of a manager (George Murphy). Why does Maisie always seem attracted to pigs? The old cliché of the guy who is rude to everyone around him and has very particular opinions about women but, gosh darn it, he's "all man" and our heroine just can't help but go weak in the knees when he gives her the slightest bit of attention. One of my pet peeves with this series is that guys like this are always treating Maisie like she's garbage and she always falls for them.Anyway, it's a decent entry in the series. The subplot about the boxer wanting to open a grocery store amused me. Virginia O'Brien has one of her weird comedy singing numbers. Natalie Thompson makes the most of a minor part as Sterling's girlfriend who has a healthy appetite. Sterling does fine, even in the more challenging dramatic parts. Sothern is perfect, as always. The biggest flaw in the cast is charmless George Murphy, whose lack of charisma makes it impossible to find anything likable about his ogre of a character.

mark.waltz More dramatic than ever, this entry in the popular Ann Sothern series takes on the world of providing. Maybe hook up with boxing manager George Murphy who pushes his prize client Robert Sterling to the breaking point as he strives to win big money to help out Hus mother. Murphy's law isn't coddling his clients, and any attempts Sterling makes to get out of his contract is met with legal threats. It's up to Maisie to fix things, and like the good tenderhearted (if rough around the edges) angel she is, she takes it on with her usual verve.Supporting Sothern, Murphy and Sterling are Natalie Thompson as Sterling's not so loyal girlfriend and Margaret Moffatt as Sterling's wheelchair bound mother. A character actress I'd never heard of before, I was impressed with Miss Moffatt's acting, although I wanted her to give Murphy a huge slap when she gently called him over in a dramatic final scene.A particular delight is the presence of Virginia O'Brien in a nightclub sequence as herself, singing an if course deadpan version of "A Bird in a Gilded Cage" as only she can. It lightens up the seriousness of this entry, reminding me that just because Sothern's lighthearted image made this assumed to be a comedy series that she couldn't go dramatic every now and then.

Michael Morrison An intelligent script and very likable characters played by superb actors, including especially the adorable Ann Sothern, combine to make this an excellent movie.Even if it's not perfect, it's excellent.Maisie gets a chance to demonstrate her own character, her strength, her determination. One speech to a certain cynic gives us a chance to cheer -- literally cheer -- this gutsy and decent young woman who gets knocked down because she is decent.But, like a champion boxer, she keeps getting up.Hollywood had an unfortunate tendency to cast flabby or, well, let's say "underdeveloped" men as "heavyweight" boxers, such as Stu Irwin or, in this case, Robert Sterling, an otherwise good actor, and a good-looking leading man.But he's no Sylvester Stallone.In this boxing movie, Hollywood didn't make the mistake it did in "Cinderella Man," in which a real-life boxer's character was slimed in order to make a dramatic point.Of course there's conflict, or it wouldn't be drama, but there are no two-dimensional straw-man villains.Instead there are real people, with their own goals and dreams, trying to fit into the real world, trying to get ahead within the context of what seemed possible, and to do it while remaining decent and true to themselves.Ann Sothern just outdid herself in this, a role that gave her a chance to show strength as well as charm.The rest of the cast, from "Slapsie Maxie" Rosenbloom, in one of his best roles, to Margaret Moffatt and John Indrisano, the latter two pretty unknown today, to the great George Murphy, were just super.Honest: You ought to see this one.
