Listen, Darling (1938)

Now that most Americans are on their second or third marriages . . .

[8/10 · 28 January 2021]

. . . LISTEN, DARLING seems quite prophetic in outlining how to handle all of these three-dimensional Match Games: Just put the kids in charge of mate selection. As this flick documents, often a young teen will be the best judge of which suitor makes Mom the happiest in the sack. If a dating widow or divorcee has a daughter in middle school, the maternal parent will never have a need to wait for a reply from Dear Abby. LISTEN, DARLING features a banker behind Door #1, while the second portal offers a big city lawyer with an insurance company president looming in the third. Pretty good pickings for the height of The Great Depression, leaving Mom Dorothy Somewhere over the Rainbow.
