The bull of broad street... with a girl... in the sable-est sable coat they ever sabled!

Easy Living is a screwball adaptation on the classic fairy-tale of Cinderella, Jean Arthur style!

Luck smiles on Mary Smith(Jean Arthur) when the fanciest of all fur coats flies right into her lap, and the owner insists on her keeping it! To top it all off he buys her a brand new hat to go with it, and soon insanity follows!

Mary gets let go from her job and she's got nowhere to turn! At the automat she meets the handsome John Ball, Jr.(Ray Milland) whose eager to lend her a helping hand, that is until he too leaves his job for helping her! They both seem to be in a bit of trouble; that is until people start making guesses and think Mary is having an affair with J. B. Ball-The bull of Broad St!

A very enjoyable, classic 30's Paramount Feature! August 31, 2008

"Say What's The Big Deal Anyway?"

"Easy Living" is a light-hearted comedy romance ala '37 that is sure to provide an enjoyable diversion for anyone who loves the classic oldies. It's certainly not one of the more well-known feature films of that era but it still delivers the naïve and innocent charm that we all like to harken back to now and then.

Footnote: If you like foreign films you might want to pick-up a copy of 'Kis Kis Ki Kismat' a Hindi film released within the last couple of years. It's a remake of this one only Bollywood style starring the stunning Mallika Sherawat. August 10, 2008

Easing Living

Fun movie - enjoyed it greatly. What a fun way to spend a weekend morning, listening / seeing an older movie that was just a delightful escape. Glad I purchase it! August 9, 2008

Easy Living

Easy LIving is a fun and unconventional film that is typical of Jean Arthur. I love her. July 14, 2008

finally!

I've been waiting for years for this movie to come out in DVD. It's one of the best classic screwball comedies ever. Jean Arthur, sparkling as always, and a very young Ray Milland are marvelous as is Edward Arnold as the mink-tossing father. The Automat scene is unforgettable. Crammed full of the best character actors of the studio, it's a delight from beginning to end. Plus you have a nice satiric take on the very rich and those that live off of them. June 26, 2008
