So Marie sent in this pattern envelope (from vintage Martini), with the note “just look at their expressions!”
To which I say, “and how!”
Obviously this is a still from one of those screwball films that include twins. This one’s plot is that the mom of the twins can only pay for to enable one woman a elegant debut, so she’s pretending that the other twin doesn’t exist. So, in this picture, spoiled twin A (Billie) is off to the dance in her dress, while twin B (Millie) sulks at home, in a housecoat. However, later, when Billie falls sick (food poisoning, milked for comedic effect), mom has to beg Millie to fill in for Billie to ensure that rich Suitor won’t be distracted by Billie’s nemesis, the unscrupulous grass-widow Carlotta. rich Suitor then falls for Millie, of course, as well as after many, many, many misunderstandings as well as some French-farce-type runnings in as well as out of rooms, they have a double wedding. The End.
Won’t somebody go back in time as well as film this for me? kthxbye!
