Featured review
A regular Peyton Place
I wonder if those guardians of our country at the House Un American Activities
Committee took a careful look for a subversive message in The Affairs Of Martha
before they blacklisted Jules Dassin. After all the story of household staffs meeting to confront their employers sure sounds subversive to me.
That's only part of the film and the film is a bright and innocuous comedy from MGM's B picture unit. Marsha Hunt stars as the tell all maid who has kept one secret, the fact she's married her boss's son Richard Carlson before he went off on a polar expedition.
A whole galaxy of familiar character players is what makes this film special. It gets a bit silly at times, but it's easy to take.
So you'd think she wrote a regular Peyton Place.
