Jan 27 movie: The Miracle of Morgan's Creek. A lesser Preston Sturges movie, a bit too zany for my taste. Too many pratfalls and too much yelling. And stuttering for comic effect isn't easy to pull off; too often (as here) it's just painful. Still, it is Preston Sturges, tackling the rather shocking subject of a pregnant teenager who may or may not be married. Betty Hutton is luminous as always, although I was disappointed that she doesn't sing. I'm glad I saw it, but I probably wouldn't watch it again.

yeah, that stuttering scene in front of the justice of the peace is pretty painful to watch. still, the physical humor is there, and every time they say "ratzy-watzky" i giggle. :-)
