Kind of like CITIZEN KANE if CITIZEN KANE kind of sucked. Fascinating Juvenilia from Preston Sturges mirrors KANE's narrative structure kinda-sorta-well-not-really, but fascinating doesn't equal good, since it's rather literal minded and rather maudlin, and Tracy, who was generally electric in this period of his career, appears a little overwhelmed.
