Customer Reviews of Joy of Living
A FAIRLY ENGAGING 1938 COMEDY. Dunne plays a very successful radio show star who earns half a mill a year. Her family are a bunch of lazy ne'er-do-wells who leech off her earnings and her income tax problems are astronomical. After Fairbanks is arrested for being a "masher" among the mob of Dunne's adoring fans, Dunne is, rather absurdly, appointed as Fairbank's parole officer, a plot twist which gives the duo a chance to meet in watering holes, get drunk and fall in love...With several tunes by Jerome Kern, one would expect that this rather forced little comedy would have more classy attributes. The picture was expensive to shoot, and it shows; it lost a fortune at the box-office. Even the comedic talents of Pangborn, Kibbee, Gilbert, Blore, and, in a very short bit - Lucille Ball - fail to raise the level of slapstick. Disappointingly flat and ludicrously corny. The original title of this film was to be THE JOY OF LOVING, but the censors of 1938 made it clear that there should be no joy in loving!

Quite different from the swashbuckling Fairbanks as he falls for an actress played by Irene Dunne who is supporting a lazy whiny family one of whom is played by Lucille Ball. It could also be called a musical since Irene Dunne sings quite a bit. Douglas Fairbanks is a happy go lucky who shows Irene Dunne the joy of living.
