Remembering Betty Hutton on her birthday πŸŽ‚
πŸ“· William Grimes, c. 1940
β€œThe more you watch her, the more she appeals, with her naΓ―ve belief that she can blast you into appreciation. And as the years, and films, go by, she actually starts to act.”
- David Thomson
Betty Hutton & Eddie Bracken, with a big subset of Preston Sturges's stock company, in The Miracle of Morgan's Creek, 1943.
Here's one of the greatest of all movie cast photos, but there's unfortunately no photographer credit.
Betty Hutton & Eddie Bracken are superb in Preston Sturges's The Miracle of Morgan's Creek. Two great energetic performances, but both are touchingly vulnerable as well. One of the funniest scripts in Hollywood history.
