Great Irene Dunne ( Miss Ball)
Irene Dunne was simply astounding in this movie, and to me a puzzle why this truly great actress (Show Boat, Cimmarron, Penny Serenade, A Guy Named Joe, I Remember Mama, Anna and The King, etc) was overlooked for an Honorary Oscar.
Whether in comedies like My Favorite Wife, Musicals such as Show Boat, or drama such as George Stevens brilliant I Remember Mama, Dunne was the best.
Of all the stars she knew tis said there was only one Lucille Ball-who played a supporting role in this movie to Ms Dunne- deferred to and that one was the great Ms. Dunne.
