75th Anniversary!
(1940) dir Wesley Ruggles w/Jean Arthur, Fred MacMurray, Melvyn Douglas, Harry Davenport [81 min; 35mm]
“Two’s company…Three’s illegal!” In this version of one of the archetypal screwball comedy plots, Fred MacMurray plays a man lost at sea and presumed dead who returns to dry land only to find his wife (Arthur) married to another man (Douglas). As usual, it’s up to the woman to choose who she wants to be with but, with two charming options, she finds it difficult to choose.
