#ThirtyDayPrincess (1934) : More like the female version of #ThePrisonerOfZenda (1937) than #RomanHoliday (1953). The comparisons of Thirty Day Princess with Roman Holiday and The Prisoner of Zenda are pointless because this film came before those two. Both films were based on other material that was already available, which might have influenced Thirty Day Princess. However, if you must compare, I'd say it's more like the female version of The Prisoner of Zenda than Roman Holiday since the story leans more towards the former. It's notable that it was made three years before that as well. A similar double role formula is used here; instead of a prince, it's a princess, and instead of a sad ending, we have a happy ending–exactly what a pre-code romantic comedy could not avoid. A Taronian princess must gain publicity in New York to secure a $50 million loan from a bank, but right after arrival, she is confined to bed with mumps. The banker decides to find a lookalike to present as the princess, and by God, he finds one. Nancy Lane is posed as the princess and gets acquainted with a newspaper owner. They fall in love, but things become complicated as her 30-day contract is nearing its end. Sylvia Sidney steals all the limelight here, and deservedly so. She was both cute and gorgeous as the real and fake princess. Her accent, those eyes, "You may kiss my hand," everything is adorable. Young Cary Grant was good too, but he didn't showcase much of his later trademark style. Edward Arnold played a fine banker and added much-needed variety after the hero and heroine. Marion Gering's direction keeps the film steady and makes it a delightful watch for pre -code lovers. Yes, it has nearly everything—just a few things are lacking, such as long runtime, comedy, and drama. Rest assured, it's a breezy experience of a romantic comedy.

@FrankTracy @criterionchannl I love #ThirtyDayPrincess! @tcm showed it a few years ago along with that excellent Automat documentary! November 2022, I think. That was a great #TCMParty night!

I often watch brief film moments in slo-mo when trying to get a great screen-grab. Most actors’ faces are fairly fixed. In #ThirtyDayPrincess, Cary Grant’s face races through a 100 expressions per second without ever looking contrived or exaggerated. How does he do it?! #TCMParty

Sylvia Sidney in #ThirtyDayPrincess (1934). So unique, so striking! Also doesn’t hurt that she was one of the best actresses ever to hit Hollywood! #PreCode #TCMParty #SylviaSidney

Sylvia Sidney getting coffee and a turkey dinner in an Automat in “Thirty Day Princess” (1934), also starring Cary Grant. I love this movie!! This whole scene is very Preston Sturges. And Sylvia Sidney is *perfect*! #ThirtyDayPrincess #TCMParty #PreCode
