Featured review
No rooms nowhere no how
Pillow To Post has Ida Lupino working for her dad Paul Harvey's oil drilling
supply company because his sales force have all been drafted. She has to
sell John Mitchell the company supplies and get a signed order.
But with wartime housing being what it is, the only room she can find is at a motel court built for GIs and their dependents. Fortunately she finds a nice lieutenant in William Prince to take on the role of husband.
I'm sure you know that love will bloom as it always does in these movies. The wartime housing shortage was always a good subject for comedy, the best known being The More The Merrier.
Lupino is quite frazzled in her role, but all to good effect. William Prince is an officer and a gentleman always. Nice supporting cast headed by Sydney Greenstreet as Prince's commanding officer who is on a diet to lose weight so he can go overseas. I'm betting George C. Marshall wants his officers slim and trim for the front.
Pillow To Post is a nice wartime comedy that still holds up well.
