LEMON DROP KID 1951 w. Bob Hope, Marilyn Maxwell
Damon Runyon character lives by his wits as a racetract tout but can't dodge the local mob boss when he causes the gangster's gal to lose at the races. Given that it's Christmas, maybe he can persuade people to donate to a good cause. Debut of hit song "Silver Bells"
THE MAN WHO LOST HIMSELF 1941 w. Nils Asther, Kay Francis
What's a guy to do when he steps into the shoes of his look-a-like? Why take over his life of course. And what does the wife think of that. This neatly packaged farce combines snappy direction and fine performances.
