The Golden Arrow

The Golden Arrow Review

This is a cute little screwball comedy and frankly, if you get George Brent and Bette Davis in a film, you can't go wrong. Davis is the heir to a fortune, Brent is the reporter that agrees to marry her to keep the male gold diggers away. He agrees so he can write the novel he has always wanted. He is noble and of course, can't help falling in love with her along the way. There is a neat twist at the end and I won't spoil it for you. I bought it never having seen it, and I know it will be one I will watch over and over. I already own Jezebel, The Great Lie, Dark Victory and In This our Life. I can't wait until Warners releases more of the films they made together. There were eleven in all, and I plan to check the Archives often.

The Golden Arrow Overview

Fortune-hunting playboys woo her. Newshounds clamor for the scoop on her romances. But society-page sensation Daisy Appleby, renowned as the heiress to a cosmetic company's millions, has a plan. Weary of facing a revolving door of flower-bearing fops, she arranges a marriage of convenience with likable, regular-guy reporter Johnny Jones. In exchange, Johnny will receive a weekly
stipend so he can quit work and write his novel. That's the plan. Watch it all comically unravel as Bette Davis and George Brent star in a frothy screwball concoction that's one of 11 features they made together. Alfred E. Green directs; he guided Davis the year before in her Best Actress Oscar(r)-winning* Dangerous.
