Made For Each Other - 1939

"It has been several years since Carole Lombard has been able to quiet down to a straight dramatic role. With David O. Selznick's Made For Each Other, the flighty blonde of screw-ball comedy fame gets the chance and makes the most of it. In giving what is probably the best performance of her career, she shares the film's honors with its author, director, and her co-star, James Stewart."

Newsweek, February 13, 1939

"Smooth star tearjerker."


In Name Only - 1939

"The picture is made, quite credibly, by three people—Miss Carole Lombard, Mr. Cary Grant and Miss Kay Francis. Both actresses break new ground. Miss Lombard's wavering and melancholy voice, her bewildered eyes, which have in the past faltered so well among the rapid confused events of crazy comedy, work just as satisfactorily here—wringing out tears instead of laughs..."

Graham Greene, The Spectator, August 4, 1939

"The stars seem unhappy in this sombre matrimonial drama, but of its kind, it's surprisingly well made."
