Our Miss Brooks

This feature was Eve Arden's farewell to the character she created on radio and then television. Back in the day folks in Hollywood didn't care too much about continuity. If they had they would have not had Eve Arden as a fresh arrival and just continued on with the story line as it was when the TV show ended.

Anyway Arden's arrived and ready to begin teaching at James Madison High School. And this woman is looking fir husband and hopes she hasn't waited too long or been to selective. As in the TV show Arden ses her sights on Robert Rockwell the biology teacher.

Gale Gordon got his first attention as Mr. Conklin the principal who boasts he runs the school like an army base. H's wanting to get into politics and is running for the new position of superintendent of education. He inveigles Arden to be his campaign manager.

Arden has yet another duty. She's making extra money tutoring Nick Adams the son of Don Porter the local media mogul who runs the town newspaper and local TV station. Porter takes a romantic interest in Arden as well.

Our Miss Brooks is certainly dated, its roots are firmly in the 50s. But it's pleasant viewing and for Eve Arden fans a must.
