Never Say Die. Elliott Nugent. 1939.
OK, so this is about a hypochondriac millionaire at a spa. I’m guessing there’ll be hi jinx!
Monty Woolley!
This is very funny! And quite risque. As screwball comedies go, it’s very, very screwy. Martha Raye is a comedic genius.
Oh!
Preston Sturges! I should have known! The script is just too good.
The final scene is comedy genius. I laughed and laughed.
