Living on Love

Living on Love is a 1937 American romantic comedy film released by RKO Radio Pictures.

Gary Martin is a struggling artist living in the Venus de Milo Arms, a shabby apartment building in Greenwich Village.

Though they never see one another, Gary and Mary find plenty of traces of one another in the room, and begin leaving each other nasty notes asking the other to be more considerate.

Eventually, their identities are revealed after Gary's ex-girlfriend Edith Crumwell and Mary's new boss Ogilvie O. Oglethorpe show up at the apartment building to see them and end up falling in love.

However, it did not see it as a vehicle to help James Dunn "regain that carefree, happy screen personality which hit its highest peaks when teamed with Sally Eilers".

This review also noted the unusual casting of Franklin Pangborn, who usually played effeminate characters, as Mary's lascivious boss.

In 2006, Turner Classic Movies, which had acquired the rights to the six films after extensive legal negotiations, broadcast them on TCM in April 2007, their first full public exhibition in over 70 years.
