CHANCE AT HEAVEN is a deceptively good precode

CHANCE AT HEAVEN is a deceptively good precode Hollywood drama set in a small town. It stars Ginger Rogers, Joel McCrea, Marian Nixon, and Andy Devine. When I started viewing it, I thought that the film wasn't particularly good. That it would be just another creaky, love triangle soap opera from the early 1930s. But as the story progresses, it got more interesting, thanks to a good script, restrained direction, and three strong, nuanced performances by its leads. Marian Nixon's flighty, over-bubbly "baby vamp" is at the heart of the film and what makes it succeed. Her nuanced performance reveals character layers and weaknesses in herself as well as the film's other characters in the kind of ways that might pique the interest of psychology lovers. It seems that the motivation of all three main characters could easily be interpreted in more than one way. Were Rogers and Nixon's motivations innocent? Or were they manipulative and calculated? Even the ending, despite hinting that it has just turned the "happy-after-ending" corner, is still open for speculation. Is it a new leaf? A regeneration? Or the continuance of an unsatisfying small-town romance? While CHANCE AT HEAVEN may not convert a modern film lover into a Golden Age film lover, the precode elements might shock a viewer into thinking, "You mean, they made movies like that back then?" However, for people who love history, Old Hollywood stars, fashion, set decorating, and studying social norms of the 1930s, this is a good one.
