Eve Arden ("Our Miss Brooks" TV Show in the 1950's, and many sidekick roles like in Mildred Pierce) stars as one of the two lawyers on a breach of promise case. Fun, happy, upbeat, much easier to watch than the Katharine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy version to come later. Fast paced script, its only about an hour long; Every role here is a character to laugh along with - the farmer type bachelor, the judge, Eve Arden's assistant, Cliff Edwards, who can also sing and play a mean ukulele. Vera Lewis, the spinster, made TONS of movies, about half of them silents. Eve's law partner Roger Pryor does a fine job in a smaller role, appears to have stopped making movies in the 1940s. I guess due to the bigger names in the 1949 version, that is the one shown most often on air. I prefer this version.
