Too frisky for domesticity
6 February 2021
In the tradition of B pictures not one of the three Broadway Musketeers is in any kind of Broadway show, though Ann Sheridan is in burlesque and definitely off Broadway. Broadway Musketeers is a remake of Three On A Match a film from the early 30s.

Ann Sheridan, Margaret Lindsay, and Marie Wilson are three women who grew up in an orphanage and grew up tough. When Sheridan gets busted for removing a bit much, Lindsay bails her out with some of husband John Litel's money.

Lindsay is in a loveless marriage to Litel. She's definitely too frisky for domesticity That comes at the sacrifice f being a mother to little Janet Chapman. When on a girl's night out Sheridan introduces her to playboy Richard Bond she decides she can have one time with him as a husband.

As for Sheridan she wants to settle down and Litel is seeing the qualities he missed in Lindsay.

I'll not mention the rest of the plot. But in the original Three On A Match Bette Davis played a colorless good girl friend to both Sheridan and Lindsay. Could any film aficionado in their wildest imagination see Marie Wilson in a role originally done by Bette Davis? Yet here we have it and Marie Wilson gives it a bit of color with her dumb blonde personality.

And wait to you see whom Wilson lands as a husband.
