Title: 06-02-08 Joan Bennett in The Housekeeper's Daughter on TCM
Post by: borgosi on May 20, 2008, 01:49:32 AM

Made in 1939 Hal Roach directed this comedy/drama/suspense classic that stars Joan Bennett and Adolphe Menjou. It's about gangsters trying to stop the housekeeper's daughter and a millionaire from discovering who commented a murder. Ms. Bennett was upset at the time of the movie's release because they promoted it as if it was a "adult" film. Kinda like a "farmer's daughter" type of joke. The tag line for the movie was "5 Men Ran After "THE HOUSEKEEPER'S DAUGHTER"...Who Treated Them Like She Hadn't Oughter!!!"

I just thought some of you oughter know.

Thanks for the heads up.

I don't believe I've seen this movie; if anyone else has, can you post & say if it's worthwhile (besides the obvious fact that JOAN BENNETT is in it!)

PS<Borgosi, off the top of your head, do you know what time it airs?

Thanks!

It airs at 9AM in the east. I've got my DVR set to record it. Then I'll put it on disc. My Joan Bennett collection is growing! [ghost_smiley]
