The Good Fairy is an amusing minor specimen of the sort of Continental whimsy Ernst Lubitsch raised to a fine art. William Wyler, though soon to acquire major-director status, displays little affinity for comedy, and, title notwithstanding, the often-magical Margaret Sullavan is notably less magical than in her other '30s efforts (she and Wyler had a great love-hate thing going during filming, and eloped on his motorcycle right afterward). The real stars are screenwriter Preston Sturges and the breed of exuberant character actors with whom he would make manically beautiful music upon turning director himself: Reginald Owen, Eric Blore, Torben Meyer, Luis Alberni, et al. Herbert Marshall sporadically brings a Lubitschean delicacy to his role as the struggling lawyer who doesn't know he's "married" to Sullavan's sweetly balmy movie usherette (it's a long story), and Frank Morgan, as a plutocrat who desperately wants to play the roué, is really the Wizard of Oz in training. --Richard T. Jameson

Luisa Ginglebuscher (Margaret Sullavan) was only a little orphan girl until one day a theater manager came to the orphanage in search of some new usherettes. Sweet Lu was chosen, and on her way into the world, the mistress of the orphanage reminded her to do as many good deeds as she could.
No one warned Lu about the dangers of being an usherette. No one told her about the men (Cesar Romero) who would bother her outside the gates each night. She tried to combat them by claiming she ... Read More

Someone mentioned this film to me as a good one, but I never heard of it. I took a chance on it because I like romantic comedies and thought this would be a different kind of film, but still in that genre. I won't rehash the plot again as some of the other reviewers have already done that.
I will note that I was worried it might be too old and dated. Sometimes I watch old movies and they feel like they are just that, old. This did not, it was very good! While it was obvious it was an ... Read More

"You know something funny? He didn't mention you either."
Margaret Sullavan's waif-like delicacy proved perfect for this Wiliam Wyler film adaptation of Ferenc Molnar's fanciful play about a young orphan who causes confusion by trying to do a good deed and ends up finding love in the process. Wyler also fell under Sullavan's spell while filming this and the two became a couple.
A fabulous cast that includes Frank Morgan, Herbert Marshall, Eric Blore, Beulah Bondi, and ... Read More

Penned by the peerless Preston Sturges ("Sullivan's Travels") and directed with flair by Wyler, "Good Fairy" is the kind of brassy, urbane romantic lark that Ernst Lubitsch was perfecting in the early '30s. Sporting an irresistible good-girl charm, Sullavan never shone brighter than here, cleverly fending off Morgan's priggish, overheated Konrad and gently falling for Marshall's gallant, bewhiskered barrister. (Even Wyler was smitten--he married his "Fairy" as soon as the shoot ended!) Alan Hale, Reginald ... Read More

I frequently gift this DVD to men and women over 50 years old; they love it! The movie transports us to a kinder, gentler moment. This comedy of manners plays on the naive innocence of the heroine, who has been insulated from the dangers of the world in her orphanage. Margaret Sullivan is a delight. She's selected by a movie owner to drum up business at his movie theatre (based on her looks, perhaps). At the movies, she meets a film watcher who works as a waiter. In good faith, he invites her to dinner at ... Read More
