Bold of him to try and gaslight a woman coming off of a nervous breakdown while they stay in a secluded cabin in the woods.

Uneven, but cute, screwball comedy with Ginger Rogers and George Brent. Ginger dances!

Fans of Ginger Rogers will love this! She is full of delight and this is a cute little romance comedy as George Brent teaches the movie star how to be a woman in the kitchen! And of course it's got a couple of solo dance numbers by the girl herself. Could have used more crazy energy, like in the Astaire movies, but for a milder approach to the chase it works nicely between Brent and Rogers too.

I'm slowly figuring out that Dude Doesn't Deserve Ginger Rogers is a whole sub-genre.

i wish this was better cus it rly seems like the typa trash i'd usually love

but it is just another level of messy, trying to be too many things at once. ginger is lovely as always tho!

Every time I watch one George Brent movie (such as the other day’s viewing of Gold Is Where You Find It), I end up watching at least three or four in a row completely by accident. In Person is #2 in my coincidental Brent mini-marathon.

Definitely could have use more laughs in the beginning, maybe even the first half, but it picks up after Carol reveals herself to be a movie star. Even though it is a little lukewarm in places, I still recommend it as an offbeat hidden gem, especially for Ginger fans. She is a joy as always and even got a couple solo dance numbers. I can’t decide if she and George have chemistry or not, but somehow their pairing still works. Ginger and little Joan Breslau, however, deserve a full movie to themselves.

Enjoyed Ginger and George together in this cute comedy. It didn’t quite hit the romantic level I hoped it would, but a good romantic comedy nonetheless.

The premise promises emotional resonance: shy movie star Ginger Rogers has a nervous breakdown, hides her face behind veils, and heals through the exposure therapy of keeping house in the country with a handsome amateur ornithologist. Alas, that handsome bird-watcher is snappish George Brent, and, in keeping with star persona, his initial expressions of kindness don't last long. He spars with her, domineers, and tosses the movie's prospects aside into lousy irksomeness. At least ever-wonderful Rogers and William A. Seiter, the very embodiment of a Lightly Likable director, still collaborate for some nice grace notes: the extended shot of Rogers waking up to the shadow of a bird on a tree branch; her swell song-and-dance "Out of Sight, Out of Mind"; and her visit to a country movie theatre to see one of her own pictures.

Ginger Rogers charm offensive. Her cabin tap dance gave me shivers: youtu.be/F_aRI8qYbuE

Ginger Rogers attempts to tippity tip tap into the heart of an unsuspecting man through lies and deceit but he would rather have a lady in the kitchen than a famous, successful woman. Meh.

Carol Corliss, a beautiful movie star so insecure about her celebrity that she goes around in disguise, meets a rugged outdoorsman who is unaffected by her star status. Lousy movie....

Glad we now understand that this kinda shit is gaslighting and shouldn't really be done, ESPECIALLY when the gaslighting party is specifically told that their target is in a fragile mental state following a nervous breakdown.

Leaving that aside, this only charms in fits and starts. Rogers brings a great spark to both her disguised role and her starlet's actual persona. That cabin tap dance is some fantastic stuff. The rest of the movie is much less so after we get to the cabin, tap dance aside. Rogers and Brent don't really have the best chemistry, it must be said, and the gags and execution aren't really up to screwball par.

Mainly for Ginger completists with occasionally awesome banter humor

this started out so cute especially with ginger’s covid-friendly disguise! but then they get to the cabin, george brent reveals himself to be gaslighting slime, and i couldn’t recover any good feelings (though ginger, bless her heart, did her best with what she was given). 

she has a loaded gun, threatens brent with it several times but never shoots him. she should have. 😤

Gotta say, did not mean to watch two films with gaslighting in a row but apparently that’s what my dvr had in store for me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Didn't really care for spoiled Ginger Rogers and a lot of the comedy fell flat.

Ginger is exceptional as always, all of the men are The Worst. They treat her like crap for no discernible reason.

That cooking scene brought back terrible memories of the stir-whip bit from "The Star Wars Holiday Special."
