JULIA MISBEHAVES
(M.G.M.) ULIA MISBEHAVES, which is spiritually not very far removed from the custard-pie comedy, is based on a story by Margery Sharp (who also provided the material for Cluny Brown). It concerns a cheery trollope (Greer Garson) who married into The County during World War I, then deserted her husband and infant daughter. To the delight of. the old family retainers, she returns to attend the daughter’s wedding (at the latter’s invitation), persuades the dear child to elope instead with the man she loves, and goes on to win her own husband back again. There is some good fun in the film, but most of the comedy is at the expense of whatever dignity stars such as Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon may be conceded to possess.
