Mr. & Mrs. North Goes Southward Rapidly *
27 April 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Very poor film starring Gracie Allen without her beloved George Burns. With Burns not in this nonsensical film, the film was destined to be a complete flop.

How could a suave savvy Mr. North ever be married to the ridiculous Allen? Her antics with Burns always worked because the two had that comic flair. William Post, Jr., who plays North, is the direct opposite of a Burns and it shows rapidly in this film.

The plot is utterly confusing. Is Gracie actually helping a married woman having an affair?

Millard Mitchell plays a comical detective here and there is a funny stint by Felix Bressart, a Fuller-Brush salesman, who tries to give information to the police but is literally brushed aside.

Someone needed to do a real thorough cleaning of this utter mess.
