Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIf the name of the car Ted is selling sounds familiar - nine years after the release of this film, the Dodge division of Chrysler came out with its Coronet model in 1949. It was in production until 1959, and was brought back in 1965 until 1976.
- GoofsAfter 13 year old Harriet catches the bouquet and says "Hurray. I'm going to be married next." her MOTHER says "You're going to have to get out of the fourth grade, first." A 13 year old would be in the 7th or 8th grade. Her mother surely realizes that.

Featured review
the Wizard adds zing to another one
Frank Morgan day on Turner Classics! in this one, his daughters are Mary (Ann Rutherford), Harriet (Virginia Weidler, the precocious child from The Women) and Evelyn (Gloria DeHaven). one daughter is thinking about getting married. and one is sticking her nose into everyone else's business. and when one of the daughters DOES get married, mom and dad give the bride and groom advice. the newlyweds both insist nothing could make them mad at each other. foreshadowing, for sure! now we know there will be some little misunderstanding that will snowball into something much bigger than it needs to be! an updated version of much ado about nothing. kind of. this was one of the SEVEN films Morgan made in 1940... just after the Wizard of Oz! directed by Sylvan Simon. Simon died so young at 41 of a heart attack. opening credits say story by Herman Mankiewicz. he also died so young at 55, but just look at the list of things he wrote in his short life! this is a fun one. takes a while to get going, but the second half moves right along. Morgan can jazz up any film, and this one might have been a snoozer without him.
