Robert Montgomery is a care-free painter and Rosalind Russell is a socialite looking for a more rustic lifestyle. In the tradition of screwball comedy, the unlikely lovers get married and revel in their poverty. But after Montgomery’s talent catches the notice of a stuffy gallery owner (Monty Woolley), the two start living the high life… until Russell starts feeling a little deja vu. Live, Love and Learn adheres to a tired formula, but it’s boosted by an effervescent cast. It’s not a terribly memorable comedy, but I like the scenes where Montgomery, Russell, and Robert Benchley (who plays the third wheel in the relationship) play practical jokes on Woolley. Mickey Rooney appears in one scene.
