I know Missy from "Sorry, Wrong Number", "Titanic", and as Victoria Barkley, the Matriarch, in "The Big Valley". Hard to imagine her in a "screwball comedy"
ReplyDeleteShe had a great comedic sense and was versatile, starting off as a Ziegfeld girl lol
DeleteAfter another rather frustrating day, a comedy is possibly just what I need to watch. Thanks for the link and thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you're day has been frustrating :( This is a charming film, I think. I hope you like it.
DeleteThis is yet another film I have never heard of! I guess I always watched the wrong movies.... Have a fun day, Valerie

ReplyDeleteYes, I've had that book for decades :) It's traveled on vacations with us through the years :)
DeleteQuite screwball, yes. I hadn't seen this one. Not used to seeing either of them in these type of roles but they did just fine. :)
ReplyDeleteI loved them in this! :)
