Easy Living (1937 Mitchell Leisen)

Last seen here.

Really good, Sturges writes beautifully for butler Robert Greig, who he uses memorably in Sullivan's Travels.

No problem at all with Mitch Liesen's directing and handling of actors and material.

Love the great double joke voiced by Louis Alberni about every girl needing a background and "backgrounds don't go more back than this".

And Milland: "You slave for 20 years and you're still behind the nut salad."
