Come Live With Me is a very easy movie to see. It has the light charm, sophistication and enough magic to be an experience that makes the audience walk out of the theater, feeling good. I think this is the movie in which Hedy Lamarr is closest to being herself and Jimmy Stewart closest to being himself in real life. If I had a chance to ever meet them, I would not have expected anyone rather than Johnny Jones and Bill Smith. Jimmy is wonderful as always and Hedy' face with her soft expressions and watery eyes will break your hearts. Though was not made for oscar or any other special recognitions, this fairy-tale like love story of these two beautifully cute people will remain one of the purest moments in your life.
