Review of Come Live with Me

A nice romantic comedy about a marriage of convenience between Hedy Lamarr and Jimmy Stewart where an illegal Austrian woman is subject to deportation and looks for a US citizen to marry to avoid being deported. A very good supporting cast helps to carry the movie throughout the plot. The weak points in the movie is how a woman would go to a near perfect stranger's apartment to discuss the marriage proposal and how she could have allowed herself to be "forced" to accompany her husband of convenience to his family farm for a visit. I think the film needed a bit of more development between the two characters as they were falling in love. The ending seemed a bit too rushed. The woman's original lover just driving away that quickly after she decided to stay with her husband did not seem plausible given the relationship that the former lovers had at the beginning of the movie. It was still a nice script with fine performances.
