There is one thing to be said for Hollywood. Once it finds a formula that works, it sticks to it. It's pretty constant that way. It seems to make a lot of money that way, too. But, unless you haven't gone to many movies recently, don't go to "What A Woman." You must have seen it before.

It isn't just single scenes that have a reminiscent flavor. The whole thing appears to come out of a cutting room of the 1935 days. Then it was new, and jolly, and something that everybody liked. Now it is just the same old stale stuff.

For stale it is. The old sophisticated drawing-room comedy with the self-sufficient woman and the insufficient plot. Once it was Fred MacMurray, now it's Brian Aherne. But Rosalind Russell stays the same. It gets boring, Nick, honest it does.
