God's Gift to Women - DVD

If you want to live you must follow the tranquil existence of an oyster the eminent cardiologist warns his terrified patient. No excitement and no women. One kiss and you die Mon Dieu No kissing Thats the kiss of death for ladies man Toto Duryea. And especially now when hes found the woman who has won his heart forever. Too bad that heart is one sick ticker. Vaudeville and stage star Frank Fay portrays Toto in this jaunty preCode bedroom farce set in Paris and directed by the legendary Michael Curtiz Casablanca Life With Father. Vivacious kewpie doll Joan Blondell and flapper femme fatale Louise Brooks are among former lovers who rush to Totos bedside eager to provide comfort. But he rejects them all for a hardtoget American beauty Laura LaPlante whose lips have touched his only once. And oh how he longs to repeat the experience. Will Toto give his life for one more heavenly smooch. Gods Gift to Women demonstrated conclusively that Warner Bros. would never make a movie star out of Broadway comedian Frank Fay. Portraying a most unlikely Frenchman Fay pitches woo at every beautiful woman in sight but falls in love with none of them. When Cupid genuinely strikes him for the first time Fay is compelled by the girls father to prove that hes honestly in love with her and not just with her millions. Fay does just that but it takes ever so long. Gods Gift to Women is injured beyond repair by the obnoxious mannered performance of Frank Fay and by the fact that Fay and director Michael Curtiz detested each other at first sight.
