1946 A Warner Bros. First National Production Produced by Alex Gottlieb Directed by David Butler Written by Charles Hoffman and I.A. Diamond Photographed by Arthur Edeson Music by Frederick Hollander 90 minutes Starring Dennis Morgan, Jack Carson; with Joan Leslie, Janis Paige, S.Z. Sakall, Patti Brady; Tom D'Andrea, Rosemary De Camp, John Ridgely The movie stars Dennis Morgan as Henry, a European prince who masquerades around New York as a regular guy from Milwaukee, and Jack Carson as Buzz Williams, the Milkwaukee-born cabbie who befriends and brings him home to Flatbush. Henry, on a tour of the United States, wants to learn about the average American on the street before his country's upcoming plebiscite, and he believes he can best accomplish that goal by traveling incognito. The plot thickens when Henry meets and begins to fall for Buzz's girlfriend, Brooklyn manicurist Connie Reed (Joan Leslie). Janis Paige appears as Polly, a manhappy gal pal of Connie's from the barber shop; and S.Z. Sakall as Count Oswald, Henry's befuddled assistant. Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall make a surprise appearance as themselves. The movie, the first to present Morgan and Carson as a starring team in the Crosby-Hope mold, was Joan Leslie's last at Warner Bros. Unhappy with her billing in the picture, Joan sued to get out of her contract at the completion of this. The picture really isn't bad, though the reverse Cinderella themes seemed much fresher in Warners' Princess O'Rourke, made three years earlier, with Olivia de Havilland as slumming royalty and Robert Cummings as the commoner who wins her heart and teaches her about democracy. A spirited cast and some funny dialogue keep it lively. The ending -- resolving the romantic complications -- is mildly surprising. Recommended.
