112: Has anybody seen my gal? (1952)
Almost forgot this - one of my personal favourites from this period. Charming comedy with Charles Coburn and Rock Hudson with a small role for a young James Dean even! (See link).

Great direction as usual from George Stevens–he’s got a number of sublime shots–and photography from Ted Tetzlaff.
Stevens’ hit many homers and this was a big time hit. Jean Arthur & Joel McCrea’s chemistry is off the charts. Charles Coburn superb.

Thoughts on THE MORE THE MERRIER (1943). A delightful comedy, starring Jean Arthur, Joel McCrea and Charles Coburn. Sexual politics may have changed over the years, but the essential emotional truth remains the same.

I recognize Charles Colburn (middle) He was unique; no one else fit his film roles.

Here for the great, great screwball comedy #TheMoretheMerrier. The running gag about Mr Dingle's trousers kills me every time. Three great comedy performances, and a well-deserved Oscar for Charles Coburn. #tcmparty

What film never fails to make me laugh, ? Maybe not the whole movie, but I love this scene from "The Lady Eve." Barbara Stanwyck is the daughter of card sharp Charles Coburn, & is trying to protect Henry Fonda from being bilked.
Y un secundario maravilloso como Charles Coburn.

"The More the Merrier," with Jean Arthur, Oscar-winner Charles Coburn and Joel McCrea, 1943
Joel McCrea originally didn’t think he was right for #TheMoreTheMerrier and suggested Cary Grant for the lead; ironically, Grant starred in the remake, Walk, Don’t Run (1966) in the Charles Coburn role. #TCMParty

Charles Coburn is an absolute f'ing treasure in this and the morning "getting ready for work" sequences are absolute hilarity.
NB: There is anti-Japanese racism toward the end, including the pulling at the corners of the eyes and the slur J*p.
