Food writer Barbara Stanwyck has to quickly invent a husband (Reginald Gardiner), baby and house in Connecticut for the sake of publisher Sidney Greenstreet and war hero Dennis Morgan. Luckily she has her real cook S.Z. Sakall on hand (and Una O'Connor). Dick Elliott, the judge, has 380 actor credits on IMDB but The Man Who Came to Dinner is not one of them.
Fun Warners vehicle, photographed by Carl Guthrie, written by Lionel Houser, Adele Comandini, story Aileene Hamilton. Expertly scored by Frederick Hollander, e.g. the piano tune he plays becoming their love theme.
