Third film of the Fonda-Standwyck collaboration, "You belong to me" was not quite up to the caliber of "The Lady Eve". It was nevertheless a delightful comedy and enjoyed some succes. |

Stanwyck is a burlesque entertainer hiding from the police is hired by reclusive professors to help in the writing of a dictionary of slang. Cooper played the youngest of them, the egghead who falls in love with |
Stanwyck, the stripper. It was an outrageous role and Barbara reveled in it. Whether she was dancing joyfully during her boisterous rendition of "Drum Boogie" (with Gene Krupa), leading the professors in an impromptu boogie, or shamelessly teasing Cooper with mock innocence. Stanwyck won an Academy Award nomination for best actress, for her role. Also nominated were Bette Davis for "The little foxes", Greer Garson for "Blossoms in the dust" Olivia De Havilland for "Hold back the down" and Joan Fontaine for " Suspicion" The oscar went to Joan Fontaine ., in consolation for having lost the year before for her splendid role in "Rebecca". |
