The Talk of the Town (20-Aug-1942)

Director: George Stevens

Writers: Irwin Shaw; Sidney Buchman; Dale Van Every; Sidney Harmon

Music by: Frederick Hollander

Producer: George Stevens

Keywords: Romantic Comedy, Unjustly Accused

A labor agitator framed for the arson of the town's only factory and a judge with hopes of a U.S. Supreme Court nomination share a house for a period, and aim for the affections of the house owner, a pretty schoolteacher. Part screwball comedy and part social commentary, with excellent dialogue and rapport among the three leads, though a little heavy at times.
