A film starring Bette Davis, Ann Sheridan and Monty Woolley (Warner Bros., 1942)

An injured pompous celebrity takes over a family's house.

C (Indifferent).

It might have been okay, despite being a mediocre play that tries desperately to be zany, if Monty Woolley were an actor. He just yells for two hours.
