She gave it her all.<br /><br />Thanks for the wonderful blogathon tribute to Eve Arden.

I really liked Carson and Wyman in this film. Forgot about the couch bit!! Yeah, I really need to watch this again.<br /><br />Thanks for bringing this fun film to the Blogathon!!Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08726532398377237606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-44819589297139262522017-11-14T10:53:43.559-08:002017-11-14T10:53:43.559-08:00Wow, this film sounds so good!

And what a quartet of leading actresses! It's ironic that I discovered Eve's TV series "The Mothers-in-Law" on Amazon just last week.

Ms. Arden makes this movie, in my opinion, but the lot is worth the price of admission.

He left us a lot to enjoy. A word to the wise: the only time I have ever disliked Ruggles was in 1933s Murders at the Zoo. Until that time, I had no idea I could ever dislike the actor.
