Come Live With Me (1941 Clarence Brown)

Of all Hollywood's long line of wise old ladies / grandmothers Adeline de Walt Reynolds here is not the greatest, but film is fun. Note also Donald Meek as the world's most successful bum. Ian Hunter is the other man and Barton MacLane the nice guy from Immigration.

Clarence Brown was in films from 1920: he made early Garbos and The Yearling.
