Betsy Drake

A good-hearted wife, her engineer husband, and their three kids are a typical American family—except that they take in homeless animals and children.

This comedy takes a swipe at radio and television advertising, as a woman rises in the business world after carrying a blanket-wrapped doll in order to get a subway seat. Patsy Douglas (Betsy Drake), an enterprising young lady who always assures herself a seat on the subway by carrying a doll wrapped in baby bunting, eventually must continue the charade when it is assumed that the baby is genuine. Patsy's bosses, advertising executives Sam Morley (Dennis Morgan) and Barry Holmes (Zachary Scott), hope to use Patsy's bundle of joy to land an important client, grouchy baby-food tycoon Cyrus Baxter (Edmund Gwenn). William Frawley (I Love Lucy) also stars.

The new girlfriend in a successful but troubled architect's life slowly uncovers foul play behind his former bride's death and his own torment.

Sales clerk Anabel Sims believes Every Girl Should be Married. And she has the target, er, groom picked out: pediatrician Madison Brown. Unfortunately, Dr. Brown is not interested in marriage or in Anabel. But not to worry – Anabel's sure she can outmaneuver any mere male. And she'll employ every ruse, stratagem and ploy in a marriage-minded maiden's bag of tricks to land the elusive American bachelor. Romantic-comedy icon Cary Grant and film-debuting Betsy Drake team in this frothy, funny paean to postwar domesticity. The sparkle between the two is delightful – and genuine: Soon after the film premiered they became real-life husband and wife. Hmm. Sounds like Anabel just may have been right!
