Billy is too obnoixous and evil.
"Listen, Darling" is a most enjoyable film though the plot really isn't logical in many places. It's a story you best watch with an open mind and try not to think it through too much.
When the story begins, you learn that Dottie (Mary Astor) is a widow with two children. The youngest is a crazed sociopath...and you see this later in the film. The oldest is sweet Pinkie (Judy Garland)...though she and her odd friend Buzz (Freddie Bartholomew) are meddlers. How do they meddle? Well, mom is looking to remarry a rather dull but decent and well to do man...and Buzz and Pinkie are devious and are planning on finding her a man she will feel passion for and it will be a love match. So does their plan work and who is the sucker?
The biggest logical problems were the youngest son (Scotty Beckett) who just seemed like a psychopath AND the ending...which seemed very abrupt and should have been stretched out a bit more. Not bad despite these deficits....as the acting is good and you like the characters....except for the psychopath!
