Arliss second-guesses his decision to place a personal ad when Jasmine, his date, turns out to be a quirky, gun wielding woman whose initial intention was to mock his desperation.

Sweethearts -- Arliss goes to a coffee house to meet Jasmine on a blind date, but she's not quite what she seems.

Things really get shaken up when an aspiring opera singer becomes involved with a bawdy saloon owner and his high-society rival during the devastating earthquake of 1906. Spectacular special effects are second only to the stellar performances of Oscar-winner Clark Gable ("Gone With the Wind", "It Happened One Night"), Oscar-winner Spencer Tracy ("Mutiny on the Bounty," "Adam's Rib") and Jeanette MacDonald ("Love Me Tonight"). Nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Writing and Director. Spencer Tracy received his first of nine nominations. Look for The Three Stooges in one of their few feature appearances. With buildings crumbling, streets opening up, and fires erupting, this is the disaster picture that set the standard.

Arliss places a "lonely hearts" ad in a single paper. Jasmine makes the call. They agree to meet at the Asylum Café. That's when the trouble begins! Arliss is expecting the slender, virginal beauty described to him on the phone. When the quirky woman in black, who has been mocking his antiquated male fantasies, turns out to be Jasmine, Arliss bolts. Jasmine chases after him and begs him to stay. When he blows her off, and she pulls a gun! As Arliss' anger turns to attraction, they both find out you don't always get what you expect when you look for love in all the wrong places.

A war correspondent in Egypt thinks a screen star on tour is a spy.

A revolutionary leader romances a French aristocrat in Louisiana.

Songbirds and lovebirds Carl and Sarah happily starve in a 19th-century Viennese garret, waiting the day the world will cheer Carl's operetta. But a lecherous baron with an eye for Sarah and a taste for duels threatens to turn their hope to tragedy.

As if getting out the door for a blind date isn't hard enough, 30-something Arliss (Mitch Rouse) winds up with a gun-toting psychotic in this comedy-drama. When skinny blonde Jasmine answers his personal ad, Arliss heads out to meet her. Instead, he gets in a heated talk with Jasmine's opposite (Janeane Garofalo). Turns out the unstable woman is Jasmine -- &NFi;and&NFi_; she's got a gun, &NFi;and&NFi_; it's her birthday. Margaret Cho and Bob Goldthwait co-star.
