Product Description:
This highly appealing comedy/drama has a young couple (Lombard and Stewart) battling illness, lack of money, inept servants and interfering in-laws. And then, things get tough!
Amazon.com essential video:
Produced in a time when films were both literally and figuratively black and white, Made for Each Other was unique in its effective blending of the comedic, the dramatic, and, as perhaps some would insensitively say, the melodramatic. Beautiful Carole Lombard and likeable James Stewart are Jane and John Mason, a couple who meet, fall madly in love, marry, and quickly have a baby. But while they--and the audience--are confident that they are meant for each other, life intercedes and the couple must meet with disapproving in-laws, job stress, financial challenges and, finally, a devastating illness.
Lombard and Stewart--and the genuinely good people they portray--are utterly compelling and charming. Say yawningly what you will about tradition, but the Masons' is a path many, if not most, go down. And unlike the wonderful but wholly fantasy world of peer Preston Sturges, director John Cromwell's universe is, like real life, full of ups and downs. It's an accessible, sensitive portrayal. He gives the audience characters they want to see succeed, and to see stay together in the process. It may be a tale of triumph of the human spirit, but its ultimate sentiment--one that celebrates the kindness of strangers--is thoroughly sweet, though in no way saccharine.
Look for a great supporting cast, including a blustery Charles Coburn as John Mason's boss, and Lucile Watson as Mason's interfering mother. --N.F. Mendoza

This is a Classic Carole Lombard Movie made in late 1938 and released in early 1939. The unfortunate part is that the Video and Audio quality of this DVD is only fair with the Audio quality the poorer of the two.

I consider both James Stewart and Carole Lombard to be honest actors, always believing the words and events to try and make the audience feel what they are going through. I once wrote to Jimmy Stewart about this film and his thoughts on Carole Lombard, so just for that, this movie for me is special. It can get sticky at times, but I still feel the actors give it their all as honestly as they can. Two pros, surrounded by other pros in this Selnick production.

What can go wrong in a movie produced by David Selznick, and starring Jimmy Stewart and Carole Lombard? The answer is nothing, nothing at all. The movie (1939) is brilliantly directed by John Cromwell, sets the stage for future classics such as "Penny Serenade (1941)" and "It's a Wonderful Life (1946)." Newsweek wrote in its review that they were "perfectly cast in the leading roles." This is a family drama about a young couple, named John Mason (James Stewart) and Jane Mason (Carole Lombard), who ... Read More

Watching an impossibly young James Stewart teamed with the screen's reigning screwball comedienne, the wondrous Carole Lombard, is treat enough in itself, but this 1939 dramedy directed by John Cromwell has them working overtime on a cliché-bound plot about young, struggling marrieds, John and Jane Mason, who face an unexpected crisis. Penned by Jo Swerling, the script throws in every movie-invented barrier to their happiness - John's dominating mother who lives with them, his unreasonably demanding ... Read More
