Mary Smith (Arthur) is a poor working girl who literally has a fortune dropped in her lap when a wealthy financier (Edward Arnold) tosses a sable coat out a window and it lands on her. Everyone automatically assumes she's his mistress, and soon her fairytale-like rags-to-riches lifestyle threatens a very real romance with an inept waiter (Milland). It's a "delightful comedy" (Leonard Maltin's Classic Movie Guide) full of misunderstandings that showcases high-society slapstick at its best!Bonus Content:Exclusive Introduction by Turner Classic Movies Host and Film Historian Robert Osborne Review: Easy Living is easy watching. - I was unaware of this movie until I watched it on TCM last month. It was such a delightful film that I bought this dvd on desertcart the next day. Jean Arthur is such fun to watch. Review: NOT A GREAT FILM, BUT...... - No, I wouldn't say this is a great film; nor, is it in the same league as what she was to do in the relatively short career that lay ahead of her. However, it is a delightful relief from the cares of a hard day. In fact, that was the intention of many comedy-makers in 1930's, to give people a break, in those pre-commercial television days, from the worst economic depression in American history. No doubt it could not make much of a dent in the gloom of those facing very real hardship in putting a roof over their head and food on their table, but for those whose suffering was less, it was a tonic. Watch it! No hidden critique of the capitalist system, no meaning that is not on the surface, designed only for a laugh or two. Above all, perhaps, a chance to see one of the most spirit-raising actresses ever to appear on a movie screen Just wanted to say, some years after writing the foregoing paragraph, on seeing the film again, that I am surprised at finding how well I expressed what I feel now. In addition, in the interest of full disclosure, it should now be revealed that, while I was probably a bit too young in 1937, when the film was first released, to recognize the meaning of Love, other than Mother Love, within a few years of that, I knew that the actress and I were soul-mates and would be that way forever. Here it is, three days from 2015, and it is still true. Watching Jean Arthur perform is always a refreshing experience; she communicates a uniquely pleasing quality special to herself. How nice it is, that we have that spirit captured on film, long after she herself turned her back on the Industry. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0012GVMIA | | Actors | Edward Arnold, Jean Arthur, Ray Milland | | Aspect Ratio | 1.33:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #19,781 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #664 in Romance (Movies & TV) #2,306 in Comedy (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (281) | | Director | Mitchell Leisen | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 61032991 | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono) | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Black & White, Dolby, Full Screen, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 0.01 ounces | | Release date | April 22, 2008 | | Run time | 1 hour and 29 minutes | | Studio | Universal Pictures Home Entertainment | | Subtitles: | English, French | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Edward Arnold, Jean Arthur, Mitchell Leisen, Ray Milland - **Format:** Black & White, Dolby, Full Screen, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled - **Genre:** Comedy, Comedy/Romantic Comedies - **Initial release date:** 2008-04-22 - **Language:** English ## Images ![Easy Living (Universal Cinema Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81up0WgtASL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy Living is easy watching. *by J***N on February 26, 2026* I was unaware of this movie until I watched it on TCM last month. It was such a delightful film that I bought this dvd on Amazon the next day. Jean Arthur is such fun to watch. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ NOT A GREAT FILM, BUT...... *by K***R on January 4, 2010* No, I wouldn't say this is a great film; nor, is it in the same league as what she was to do in the relatively short career that lay ahead of her.

With a surfeit of superb set-pieces, and unequalled writing, Easy Living sashays giddily along the avenues of depression American, spewing forth hilarity like so many wildcat strikes. So miraculous is Sturges' touch he almost seems a comic rhabdomancist, as gushers of comedy break forth in a supernormal even surrealist display of the most ribald imagination possible. Backed with the underrated Mitch Leisen's stylish direction this gem of a film just get's better with age. Heroine Jean Arthur, down to her last dime, decides to break open her piggybank - but soft-hearted Jean can't do it - she has to first tie a blindfold around the piggy's eyes before smashing it open! Every math teacher in the world will crack up as Edward Arnold, in his usual role as the great man of business, this time as a prominent banker, spends a fruitless five minutes in the backseat of his limo trying to explain the trap of compound interest payments to shopgirl Jean, who insists she knows arithmetic better than he does and drives him half-crazy when she can't follow his reasoning. And on and on all leading up to the legendary Automat scene with Ray Milland and Jean Arthur creating utter chaos at the food automat. If you like Jean Arthur, or Preston Sturges, and you haven't yet seen this doozy of a screwball comedy - now you can! Don't miss it! ## Frequently Bought Together - Easy Living (Universal Cinema Classics) - The More the Merrier - The Devil and Miss Jones --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ni/products/4050165-easy-living-universal-cinema-classics](https://www.desertcart.ni/products/4050165-easy-living-universal-cinema-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Nicaragua* *Store origin: NI* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
