Hollywood Studios Year-by-Year Paramount 1935: PRIVATE WORLDS & PETER IBBETSON

Published: Jan. 22, 2021, 6:06 a.m.

Paramount, 1935: we have two very unusual and very different\xa0movies, which nevertheless share the theme of private worlds and the possibility of communication between them. First up is Gregory La Cava's\xa0Private Worlds, about the inner lives of psychiatrists and the permeable boundary between sanity and insanity. It stars Claudette Colbert as Dr. Jane Everest and Charles Boyer as her chauvinistic boss and secret crush. Next, Henry Hathaway's fantasy melodrama\xa0Peter Ibbetson, which treats love as a shared mental world in ways that anticipate\xa0Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, while the camera falls in love with Gary Cooper's sweaty, suffering face.\xa0
