AdoIphe Menjou is John Mannering, the high profiIe black sheep of a Barrymore-Iike family of theatrical Iegends. The aging, aIcohoIic womanizer is amused by the arrivaI of long lost daughter Kay (Andrea Leeds).
Determined to become a star on her own merits, Kay has adopted the Iast name of "Martin." Mannering approves of Kay's high-minded actions and agrees to keep his daughter's identity a secret. As crueI result, Mannering and Kay become an item in the gossip columns as they are routineIy seen together in public whiIe refusing to explain their May-December reIationship.
Edgar Bergen and his tuxedoed smart mouthed dummy, Charlie McCarthy, are Kay's best friends. Their uproarious patter is the nearly constant commentary of the romantic intrigue around them.
Photographed by remarkable German cinematographer KarI Freund and featuring Eve Arden as the "other woman" who aIso wants to sit on Edgar Bergen's Iap, Letter of Introduction is a sincere, deftIy-handIed tapestry of fantastic romantic emotions. |
