Love is in the air this time, and what better way to make your heart beat faster than in the company of threeclassic romantic comedies.
First up, Carole Landis and John Hubbard are switching places, literally, in 1940 body-swap comedy Turnabout. James Cagney is romancing Gloria Stuart on the high seas in 1934's Here Comes The Navy. And Charles Boyer and Margaret Sullavan have the most unorthodox marriage you can imagine in 1941's Appointment For Love.
