My Sister Eileen

Under discussion:

My Sister Eileen  (1942)
Caught this one on TCM last night. Rather silly stage adaptation (you can even pick out where the curtains drop on act one and two). A lot of the jokes are rather dated, which is probably why this one doesn't show up on television all that often. Rosalind Russell plays her usual 'smart alec street smart dame' role that she did so well, and has to fend off numerous oddball characters interested in her naive pretty younger sister while trying to make it as a writer in New York. I lost interest in the third act, but my wife stuck with it and seemed to find the ending satisfactory (even with a cameo by the Three Stooges) and in her words 'very cute'.
