The More the Merrier (1943 George Stevens & prod)

Robert Russell and Frank Ross story written by them and Richard Flournoy and Lewis R. Foster.

Has a slightly slapstick feel, but then some great laconic repartee between Joel McCrea and Charles Coburn - with these two involved it's a mystery why we hadn't seen it since 2005. With topical background of accommodation shortages in wartime Washington, Coburn acts as cupid between McCrea and Jean Arthur as they all share her flat. Most entertaining.
