Featured review
Slightly Opened Stage Farce
Following the scorning advice of mother-in-law Elizabeth Patterson, Edward Everett Horton asks for a raise and gets fired. He, Patterson and his wife, Peggy Conklin get tipsy, and while the ladies sleep it off, Horton straightens the house. In marches Peggy's rich aunt, Laura Hope Crewes, who mistakes him for the houseman. Horton plays along; they have never met, and Miss Crewes advised against the marriage. She is taken with the respectful servant, and when she takes her niece along with her, she offers Horton a job as a handyman. He accepts.
It's from a play by Claire Kummer. Despite the screenplay co-scripted by Dore Schary, and direction by Joseph Santell, it remains a three-set stage play. The performers are engaging; Miss Conklin has a distinctive voice, and the other performers are accomplished farceurs. The lines are amusing, even if the situations are standard. Cinematographer James van Trees keeps changing the camera position in an effort to lend some cinematic movement to the effort, but the score by Heinz Roemfeld is poor, and the effort winds up looking slightly less visually interesting than a three-camera set-up in a 1950s TV situation comedy.
