Film 113 of the year so far: TURNBOUT, Carole Landis. Although Hal Roach is more famous - indeed legendary - as an overseer of silent comedies, his directorial offerings during the talkie era are high quality, enjoyable romps. Never one to shy away from outlandish themes, in this film Roach tackles marital strife and supernatural gender swapping. Whatever slight short-comings Roach had as a director are more than made up for by the very clever and funny cast, making this, perhaps, his most successful creation. The premise doesn't really make sense, but, that aside, this is the perfect light-zany comedy. Finally, after carefully studying this film, I think it's safe to say that Mr. Roach definitely had 'a type'. Quality 9.5/20 Entertainment 9.5/20. (I found this film on archive.org)
