Film7.6KomediSuçCary Grant ve ona eşlik eden müthiş bir oyuncu kadrosu, Joseph Kesselring’in 1941 tarihli Brodway oyunundan Frank Capra’nın uyarladığı bu komedi klasiğinde kırıp geçiriyor. Yorgun tiyatro eleştirmeni Mortimer Brewster’ın (Grant) şüpheli şahıslara zehirli içki içiren iki halası (Josephine Hull and Jean Adair), Boris Karfoff’a benzeyen sosyopat bir kardeşi (Raymond Massey), kendini Teddy Roosevelt sanan bir başka çatlak kardeşi, yeni evlendiği sabırsız bir eşi ve herşeyi yoluna sokmak için sadece bir gecesi vardır. Bu sirkin ortasında Cary Grant’in yüzü bir palyaço gibi şaşkın ifadeler alır, doğal atletik yapısı lastik bacaklı bir balerin gibi şekilden şekle girerken gülmekten öleceksiniz.
Film7.8DramMervyn LeRoy’un, .Robert E. Burns’ün otobiyografik hikâyesini temel alan, Ben Bir Pranga Kaçağıyım, şansı yaver gitmeyen bir 1. Dünya Savaşı gazisi olarak, uydurma bir suç yüzünden prangaya vurulup, uzak güney eyaletlerinde ağır işçiliğe mahkûm edilmesinin ardından, merhametsiz bir suçluya dönüşen masum bir adamın canlı bir portresini sunar. Adam dürüst bir hayat sürmek için kaçar, ihanete uğrar, yeniden kaçar ve yakalanmış bir kaçak olarak ömür boyu hapis cezasına çarptırılır. Kayayı bile orta yerinden çatlatacak sadist gardiyanlar, firarlar (birçok filme temel oluşturmuş, uluyan tazıların bataklıktaki takip sahnesi dâhil), hücre cezası, parmaklıkların ardındaki kendine özgü dil başarılı bir biçimde perdeye taşınır. Sırf defalarca gönderme yapılmış bir film olması (en son Coen Kardeşler’in O Brother, Where Art Thou?/ Nerdesin Be Birader? filminde) açısından seyredilmeye değer bir yapım. Modası geçmiş olsa da halen ünlü ve unutulmaz son cümlesiyle seyirciyi derinden etkiliyor.
