All for Mary (1955)
4/10
Awful Mary
6 December 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Despite the best efforts of a distinguished cast they are unable to revive a truly unfunny script.It shows its stage origins all too clearly.Tomlinson and Patrick are potential skiers who find themselves on a skiing holiday both eyeing the charms of Jill Day.Unfortunately they both catch chicken pox and are quarantined by the management of the hotel.Tomlinsons ex nanny(Harrison) by chance has come for a two week holiday to the hotel.She falls back into her occupation and nurses them both.She makes sure at the same time that the rather doleful faced Tomlinson wins Jill Day.It is little wonder that the Rank Organisation were in such financial dire straits at the time of this film if this was the best that they can come up with.Even the marvelous Kathleen Harrison,second billed ,can do little in a rather thankless role.
