Here is what looks to be a fine Ronald Colman comedy, directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz (Joe probably had to make sure to put the "L" in there so he would not be mistaken for all the other guys in Hollywood with the same first and last name). This is one I have yet to see, but from the look of the publicity photo, Bonnie could have had two lines of dialog, don't you think?? Awww, who am I kidding, she probably just eased gracefully into the scene (as she tended to do) and performed what I have I have referred to all these years as "SAS" (stand and smile). I am sure that sounds pretty easy to do, but try holding an attractive smile for about 10 seconds or more, and not looking creepy, or like someone with issues. A good example of SAS is in 'The Flying Deuces" when Georgette is facing her father, and the director opted to to put Bonnie between them.
A quick peek at this movie's IMBD just now taught me something (and when does a quick peek at the IMBD not?). It seems that a woman (also uncredited) born Diana Love Dill, was married to a gentleman from Nov. 1943-Feb. 1951 named Kirk Douglas. Michael Douglas and Joel Douglas came from that 8 year union..... a long time by some Hollywood standards.
