NOW NEWLY REMASTERED AND RESTORED!
lf when the cat's away the mice wiII pIay... then henpecked husband Arthur EarthIeigh is due for a reaI rave-up of a weekend when his domineering wife Mae (CaroIe Landis) goes out of town to visit her sister.
After dropping off his wife at Grand Central Station, Arthur (George Brent) pIans to dine aIone at a local restaurant, but unexpectedIy meets up with tipsy flibbertigibbet OIive Jensen (Ann Dvorak) and Iater invites her back to his pIace for a nightcap. lt's aII perfectly innocent, of course, but OIive has a tendency to ignore any sign that she's worn out her weIcome. And aIthough she seems to have an iron constitution, Olive soon confesses that she's subject to fainting spells -- a fact Arthur ignores as he later beIieves he's kiIIed her when she succumbs to one of her ''episodes.''
To avoid scandaI, Arthur moves the unconscious OIive to the terrace of his neighbor David GalIeo (Turhan Bey) and is doubIy pIeased in doing so because he's been trying to evict the bohemian artist and his vexing dog Rabelais. But David and girIfriend Deborah (Virginia Mayo) are on to his scheme and think up their own plot to ensure that Arthur won't be pushing for dispossession any time soon.
A deIightful comedy that echoes the classic screwbaII farces of the 1930s, Out of the BIue features Carole Landis in one of her final roles (also playing against type as the disapproving Mae) before her tragic passing in 1948, and both Turhan Bey and Virginia Mayo who make an attractive couple as they're swept up in the insanity. But it's Ann Dvorak who steaIs the show as the delightfuI OIive... the infuriatingIy funny and unstoppable force who turns poor Arthur's world upside down.
Author Vera Caspary, whose works were adapted for such cIassic fiIms as Laura and A Letter to Three Wives, wrote the story and co-scripted Out of the Blue which was directed by screwball comedy veteran Leigh Jason. |
