No Time for Love (1943)

A woman photographer working for a magazine takes an assignment to record the work on a subway tunnel under construction. She gets acquainted with one of the workers and establishes a love-hate relationship with the guy.

Basically a piece of fluff, but boy is it well-made. Everything is impressive in this production, from the polished dialogue to the spectacular studio-made sequences in the underground tunnel. The plot is dismally implausible, what with the blue-collar male protagonist revealing himself as an accomplished engineer. To be fair, it has a healthy take on the psychology of the sexes, something which has become virtually extinct in recent times.
