make your own bed

| No Comments

January 4 movie: Make Your Own Bed. This is a weird little movie about a rich guy (Alan Hale!) who can't keep servants. He entices a struggling detective (Jack Carson) and fiance (Jane Wyman) to take the job, by pretending that his life in is danger from Nazi spies. Then Hale hires a bunch of actors to play the spies, so Carson will stay interested in the case and keep posing as the butler. Problem is, Carson is a lousy detective and Wyman is a lousy domestic. Wacky hijinks ensue!

I wouldn't have watched this except, you know, Alan Hale. It's nice to see him in a major role. In most of his movies -- at least the ones they show on TCM -- he just gets a few scenes.
