You Can't Take It With You Reviews
Admittedly, this is one where the Capra corn becomes a bit of an eye roll for me.

Capra deserves all the praise he has been given recently for breaking down the script into a fast, entertaining, and always interesting picture.

A perfect and wholesome representation of the late 30s screwball comedy. Jimmy Stewart and Jean Arthur are a pair of fireworks in this one.

Lots of furiously funny scenes, but none as funny as that in which the principal characters all land in gaol as the result of an impromptu fireworks display.

With Capra’s directorial genius, it’s a smash hit. Being a screwball comedy, It’s lunatic stuff -- zanier than the screwiest of the Brethren Marx’s comedies.

One of the outstanding movie hits of the season.

For those who didn't see the play, You Can't Take It With You will provide a merry, not too thoughtless, couple of movie hours.

Lionel Barrymore stands out in brilliant fashion in the leading role, but has noteworthy support from Miss Arthur, happily returned to the films after too long an absence.

It may be disappointment that any Frank Capra comedy should be heavy and overdone which makes You Can’t Take It with You seem such a dud.

No one player can be singled out as giving the best performance, for every one in the cast is excellent.

It's one of the most amusing and satisfying pictures to be seen in months, and certain to be an enormous hit with audiences.

One of the best pictures of the year.

You Can't Take It With You is a tumultuous success -- a whizzing, dazzling, noisy explosion of mirth that equals the accidental fireworks demonstration which is one of its main scenes.

Most of these [scenes] are funny and some are sad, but all are intensely interesting as executed by players who etch their characterizations and a director who knows what to do with a truck- load of superfire material.

Something about the work of Frank Capra seems to indicate that he is fond of the human race -- at least, in principle.

Lionel Barrymore gives ore of the finest performances of his long and honorable career.
| Feb 7, 2022
What a cast. I shan't stop to lay individual laurels on deserving brows because everybody in the cast turns out a magnificently rounded perform. mice. A brain picked parcel of players if I ever saw one!
