Blonde Fever (1944)
3/10
Only for fans of Gloria Graham
19 January 2020
If you like Gloria Graham, you'll want to check out the silly comedy Blonde Fever. If you don't like her, you'll want to avoid it, since she's the lead and her cutesy persona is on full display. She's a waitress in a small hotel, interested in her boss, Philip Dorn, only after she finds out he's won the lottery. Philip is already married to Mary Astor, who unfortunately has very little screen time. Gloria's boyfriend, Marshall Thompson is young and gawky, and Gloria flocks to Philip's age and inexperience-even though he has very little experience winning the lottery and cheating on his wife.

Felix Bressart is the headwaiter of the hotel's restaurant, and while he doesn't have much of a character, he's the one everyone in the movie comes to for advice. Gloria's very cute, but I think Felix is cuter, so I'll watch anything he's in. This isn't a movie I'll want to watch again, since the story isn't that great and the performances are a bit lacking, but if you like Gloria, you'll probably enjoy it.
