Casanova Brown Blu-ray Review
casanovabrowntop-1024x758.jpg



An amiable comedy of miscommunication with delightful stars and touches of screwball comedy tropes of old, Sam Wood’s Casanova Brown is fairly lightweight material for two Academy Award-winning stars.

Thanks Matt for your fine review. I'm going to try to watch this Blu-ray this week as I read some negative comments about the movie. Again, comedy is so subjective so I'll see what happens as I haven't seen this movie in many, many years and don't remember much about it. Perhaps, my memory will kick in once I start to watch the disc.

I watched my Blu-ray early this morning and found it an enjoyable comedy. My film grade is 3.0 which is an average movie grade by me. Yes, the ClassicFlix Blu-ray's video presentation is really good.

While I haven't unwrapped my Blu-Ray, I thought this movie was excellent.

It has been a few years, but I especially love the scene early on when Gary Cooper has troubles with his cigar, and accidentally burns down his in-law's mansion.

I'm perhaps biased a bit though since I adore Teresa Wright.

Inspired by this recent discussion, I watched Casanova Brown on blu-ray last night. My wife and I both thoroughly enjoyed it. Frank Morgan is great, of course, but so are Theresa Wright and Gary Cooper. Mary Treen is another standout. I'm a big fan of screwball comedies, and this certainly has some of those elements. For my money, a fun little comedy.
