Review of Pretty Baby

Pretty Baby (1950)
3/10
Badly written and miscast
27 November 2022
A crazy woman who talks to a doll has an accidental meeting with the owner of the company she works for on the subway. Multiple misunderstanding ensue since he thinks the doll she is carrying on the subway is actually a baby named after him.

The script not gelling is one thing. Miscasting dramatic actors in a comedy is the second mistake. Dennis Morgan and Zachary Scott have no flair for comedy. Betsy Drake had no flair for anything.

The only one holding it all together - almost - is the great Edmund Glenn.

I think this was a rushed production for the purpose of finishing off Zachary Scott and Dennis Morgan's studio contracts and to give a job to Cary Grant's new wife.
