parenthood of 'The Bundle' ?
My wife, recently viewed Bundle of Joy on TCM. She now claims that the character essayed by Eddie Fisher, admitted to the Debbie Reynolds character, that he indeed was the "daddy" of the waif that she picked up. I have never had the interest to watch this film in its entirety, and can't comment on this. however, given the time period that this film was set in and the prevailing moral climate in those days, I think that admitting to an illicit sexual affair and an out of wedlock birth. would hardly be something that studio heads would put in a movie starring "America's Favorite Couple". of course given several years, the favorite couple myth was exploded, with Eddie throwing over Debbie for "grief stricken" Elizabeth Taylor and then being thrown over himself, when Liz tossed him aside for Richard Burton. I'd be interested in knowing of anyone else heard this bomb shell about the "Bundle's Parenthood" while viewing this film?
