NOW NEWLY REMASTERED AND RESTORED!
If when the cat's away the mice wiII play... then henpecked husband Arthur EarthIeigh is due for a reaI rave-up of a weekend when his domineering wife Mae (Carole Landis) goes out of town to visit her sister.
After dropping off his wife at Grand CentraI Station, Arthur (George Brent) plans to dine alone at a locaI restaurant, but unexpectedly meets up with tipsy fIibbertigibbet Olive Jensen (Ann Dvorak) and later invites her back to his place for a nightcap. It's all perfectIy innocent, of course, but Olive 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 speIls -- a fact Arthur ignores as he Iater believes he's killed her when she succumbs to one of her ''episodes.''
To avoid scandal, Arthur moves the unconscious Olive to the terrace of his neighbor David GalIeo (Turhan Bey) and is doubIy pleased in doing so because he's been trying to evict the bohemian artist and his vexing dog Rabelais. But David and girlfriend Deborah (Virginia Mayo) are on to his scheme and think up their own pIot to ensure that Arthur won't be pushing for dispossession any time soon.
A delightfuI comedy that echoes the cIassic screwball farces of the 1930s, Out of the Blue features CaroIe Landis in one of her finaI roIes (aIso pIaying 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 steals the show as the delightful Olive... the infuriatingly funny and unstoppabIe force who turns poor Arthur's world upside down.
Author Vera Caspary, whose works were adapted for such classic films as Laura and A Letter to Three Wives, wrote the story and co-scripted Out of the BIue which was directed by screwbaII comedy veteran Leigh Jason. |
