5/10
not Cecil K's best...
21 November 2016
Warning: Spoilers
SPOILERS...Some big warner brothers actors are highlighted in here, but in a "film within a film" kind of thing... Humphrey Bogart, Chester Clute, Cecil Kellaway, Jack Carson. And of course, Grady Sutton! Not a lot of info on this one... only 96 votes as of now. So the rich, old guy thinks he's dying, and leaves all his money to some chick, but the "why" is some big secret. Right from the start, the boyfriend and girlfriend are arguing about the importance of having (or not having) money, and how the balance of power hinges on who has it. It gets kind of corny... suddenly the show they are watching features a couple having the exact same fight. and the old guy doesn't die! It was a little annoying. kind of much ado about nothing; the rich old guy wants his money back, and seems overly concerned about why the wife hasn't mentioned the money to the husband. lot of running around the mulberry bush. more things that don't really make sense. script needs tightening up or something. i can see why this one is only rated 6 stars. Directed by Fred Decordova... who directed the Johnny Carson show all those years. its okay. This has the feel of a film that started out as a play... lots of talking. the cut-aways to the TV shows within the show throw off the timing or something.
