A joyous event, classically and beautifully set up and staged and delivered by Melvyn Douglas, Merle Oberon and Burgess Meredith, with Alan Mowbray, Sig Ruman, Harry Davenport and a young Eve Arden, who basically sets her character for the next 40 years (she was in Grease - not that that's enough of a reason to watch it).
The Roan Group's presentation - 'Restored from the original 35mm nitrate' - is rather soft. George Barnes' photography is occasionally shadowy but very creative and beautiful.
See here for history of the story and previous review. 'Univeral Mattress and United Furniture'. Brilliantly accomplished with much humour going in and out of doors, as usual.
