Good film to watch
20 January 2003
The best thing about this film is seeing what small town America looked like in the late 1950's. While some Hollywood sets were no doubt used, this one looks as if most were shot Down East in Maine. The plot is simplistic and yet a quasi Mr. Smith Goes To Washington. Doris Day and Jack Lemmon handle their roles very well. My personal favorite in the film is the great Ernie Kovacs as the bad guy in this story about a small town woman (Jane/Doris) fighting to have her lobsters shipped fresh to the big cities like Boston and New York by train. After a shipment of lobsters end up dying before reaching their destination-Jane/Doris, with the help of her sweetheart/lawyer Jack Lemmon decide to challenge greedy Railroad tycoon Kovacs-who hams up his role quite well. I will let you watch the movie to learn the results of the challenge.
