Review of Merrily We Live

It's not as uniformly excellent a screwball comedy as My Man Godfrey, or You Can't Take it With You, but if you stick with this, there are some funny scenes that make it worthwhile watching. Brian Aherne is awfully funny here, as are scenes with Patsy Kelly and Alan Mowbray as the put-upon butler, with the redoubtable Billie Burke as a silly but lovable lady of the house. Add to that two dogs. So, it's not a perfect film, but there aren't nearly enough screwball comedies in the world, so if you want some light-hearted entertainment, give this a shot.
