Audience Reviews for Twentieth Century

  • Sep 03, 2010
    A pretty funny comedy, but very predictable.
    Aj V Super Reviewer
  • Jun 14, 2009
    great early screwball comedy with a hilarious performance by john barrymore as a hammy broadway producer and carole lombard as his adorable diva. hawks soon perfected his rapid-fire style with bringing up baby and his girl friday

    John Barrymore and Carole Lombard ham it up as thespians who are each other's best audience ... and maybe the only audience the other cares for. The one liners zing like hail in a storm.
