Slow and exaggerated
The first fifteen minutes of Reunion in Vienna is confusing, but compared to the rest of the movie, it’s much better. Diana Wynyard is shows attending a tour of a grand Viennese palace, and she slips away from the rest of the group and imagines herself in a royal gown meeting the prince from long ago. Then, at home, she’s bored with her husband Frank Morgan and father-in-law Henry Travers. It makes the audience think the movie is a fantasy about a bored housewife who wishes she could meet a prince.Instead, the prince is not only real, but he’s her ex-boyfriend. He was exiled after a change of power, and then Diana married Frank. Frank is a famous psychologist who carries the theory to his patients, including Una Merkel, that a woman’s first love is glorified in her mind and that if she saw him again as he was, he’d topple from his pedestal. So, putting his money where his mouth is, Frank tells Diana to go to May Robson’s party because he knows Prince John Barrymore will be in attendance. He believes she’ll come running home with open arms. However, as soon as John graces the screen, he slows the tempo down and makes everyone think they’re watching him onstage. His performance is very exaggerated, and he and Diana don’t seem to have any shared history that would make her doubt her happiness at home.
This story isn’t very interesting, since the majority of the movie tries to show tension between Diana and John, rather than the psychology behind Frank’s theory. No one is at his or her best acting, so if you’re a fan of the cast, try renting one of their other movies tonight.
So This Is Love
Diana Wynard is married to Frank Morgan, a psychiatrist who is clearly a stand-in for Freud. Twenty years earlier, she was the mistress of Prince John Barrymore. Now, like all the Habsburgs, he is forbidden to enter the country. Even so, he stalks through their marriage, a ghost at an uneasy feast. This doesn’t stop him from showing up at Princess May Robson’s hotel, and commanding Miss Wynard’s presence.Based on Robert Sherwood’s play that originally starred Lunt and Fontanne, Barrymore offers himself as a gigantic, self-mocking sociopath, playing the role as he would later play Oscar Jaffee in 20TH CENTURY, magnificently mad, and ultimately aware of it. He overwhelms everyone in his brashness, his assumptions of rights and privileges; Miss Robson may dominate scenes, and Henry Travers, in his first movie appearance, as Morgan’s father, likewise, but it is all they can do to hold their own when Barrymore swaggers onto the scene. It’s a lot of fun to watch Barrymore. Perhaps that’s why the ending is so flat. Morgan makes a rare decision to underplay his role, and this makes Miss Wynard seem less sure of why she makes the decision to stay with him. Has she grown up and come to care for a man who has made his own accomplishments, or is she simply making the safe choice? I’m sure that couples taking the midnight train back to Scarsdale wondered the same thing, with the wife assuring her husband that, yes, it is love.
