Title: A FOGGY DAY IN LONDON TOWN.
Review: The romantic life of Lady Alyce Marshmorton is the subject of much gossip and wagers among the servants of Totleigh Castle, the Marshmorton estate. To win a marriage "pool" which has been instigated by head domestic Keggs, Albert, a young servant of the estate, forges a love letter from Alyce to American comedy star Jerry Halliday, whom she had met briefly in a London taxicab.... A downright peculiar picture which works better than might be expected. Certainly Joan Fontaine was no musical performer, but the inventive, Oscar-winning choreography by Hermes Pan is stunning: the Fun House sequence is particularly memorable. The film fizzled upon its initial release in 1937. Apparently audiences felt that Fred without Ginger was like corned beef without cabbage: edible, but only if you're very, very hungry. The fine Gershwin standards A FOGGY DAY & NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT were introduced in this 1937 potpourri.
