The House Across the Street

. . . how females have been messing up America's work places since World War Two. Not content to return to one-room school houses, their nursing caps or scrub woman positions, these brassy but not so broad-shouldered wenches remained Hell-bent upon filching men's spots on the assembly line, rivet-gun firing range or--in the case of Kit here--on the beat in the newsroom. Fouling up her boss editor Dave like a redundant second wheel, Kit all but permanently sabotages the veteran scribe's journalism career. Shame on her!

I do not know if this would be considered a classic, but it is a nice little film starring Wayne Morris, who by the late 1940's was not seen in too many starring roles in Hollywood. Morris gives a good performance as a newspaper man trying to expose criminal kingpin Bruce Bennett as a murderer. Good pacing, simple script with some fine witty dialogue. I saw this movie during a cold and blustery snowstorm. This is the kind of film that used to grace our late late movies. I sure could use more of this kind of entertainment on tv in the wee hours of morning instead of so many infomercials. Check this one out if it is ever on. It's worth a watch. MM
