The Cinderella in SIN TAKES A HOLIDAY is Constance Bennett, although the dvd cover would lead one to believe Basil Rathbone was the star. Bennett's is the only name over the title, and Rathbone is listed third after the largely forgotten Kenneth MacKenna. At the high of her popularity Bennett's star shone much brighter than Rathbone's, although it went super nova in the `40s and dimmed to a candle glow, while Rathbone's maintained a steady glimmer all these years.
SIN begins inauspiciously enough. High-falutin' tuxedoed divorce lawyer MacKenna is basking in his bachelorhood and his intimate affair with a woman of means. Bennett is his overworked, $35 a week secretary who's carrying a serious torch for the boss. To her distress, the boss can't see past her bargain basement, sensible dress to the woman within. Rathbone and a passel of swank femmes and wastrel gents are introduced in act one, and the movie groans beneath their collective weight. These opening exposition scenes are usually interminable unless written by Ben Hecht, which this one ain't. It would be so much better if the actors would enter with cards about their necks explaining who they are. All the women would wear signs reading "Cat," and the men would wear ones reading "Hen-pecked alcoholic husband," "Gigolo," "Blind to the one who really loves you," etc. It would save us from their "witty" conversation and take us out of the stage-y apartment set.
The plot does get some work done in the opening act, though. MacKenna learns that his married lover is filing for divorce and he's being named as a co-respondent. This news doesn't startle or upset him nearly as much as the possibility, bordering on probability, that she will move in with him and -gulp- insist on marrying him. To buffer himself against this unfortunate possibility he sells secretary Bennett on a scheme to marry him, in name only, arguing that it's "a better job" than the one she has now.
Things really pick up in act two, with the naïve young missus embarking on a solitary honeymoon trip to Paris. Slender wolf Rathbone, who just so happens to be on the same boat, makes his push. They strike up a platonic friendship. Platonic on Bennett's side, at least. Rathbone prowls about after her when they reach the continent and convinces her to stay at his villa outside of Paris. This being the 30's and Bennett being a 30's romantic heroine, Rathbone is not staying at the villa this season. Plato would be pleased.
The second act provides the key to this movie, I believe. Bennett, still secretly in love with her now husband is pensive and introspective. Rathbone picks up on it and insists that tomorrow she go and buys clothes, get her hair done. Bennett demurs. Rathbone presses his case "It will give you a feeling of power," he says. "Power!" Bennett echoes as the scene fades out. Any philosopher will tell you that Truth is the ultimate power, and any poet worth his salt will tell you that Truth is Beauty. To survive in the modern world, more importantly, to be noticed, Beauty needs to be ornamented and enhanced. "Then he'll notice ME...."
It works. Bennett becomes the Belle of the continental smart set. Latin baritones sing love songs to her, ancient generals ask her into the garden for a private talk, and decrepit dowagers invite her to holiday with them in Berlitz. Even Rathbone starts to get a little mushy about the gills.
The third act ties things up quite nicely, thank you. Bennett arrives in full plumage and a scale or two falls from the eyes of her "contract" husband. The femme cats, with dissipate tuxedoed males in tow, arrive for the show ending showdown with the empowered bride.
After it crawled out of the mucky first act SIN TAKES A HOLIDAY is an engaging romantic drama. Bennett has a light touch and slim beauty that wins and sustains your sympathy. Rathbone plays the young swain with a cerebral panache and makes what could be a callous character a sensitive and compassionate one.
The video quality on this disk is so-so.
This is a fun film. No-one is correct - everyone behaves atrociously. The men are ultimately revealed as cads or blind to their actions while the women are calculating and far more deliberate and nasty in their actions. It's interesting to watch to see who Sylvia will end up with........she ain't no angel.....don't be fooled by her apparent innocence. She's just as much of a bitch as Grace as her behaviour demonstrates. We have a confrontation at the end between all the characters involved which is what we have been anticipating and the dialogue is very entertaining.
A mention about the character Gaylord. Well..........there's his name first of all...and then there is the fact that he doesn't seem interested in any women.....GAY....or maybe not, eh?
I also think that they needed to make Constance Bennett far more plain in the first half of the story so that her transformation into a babe is believable. As it is, she looks good before and after. No change there.
An enjoyable film.
