THURSDAY MOVIE CONNECTION. Every Thursday in 2012, I am connecting movies through actors.

March is all MUSICALS!

In honor of Alfred Hitchcock's death on April 29, 1980, April is dedicated to Hitch, and all my favorites.

It Happened to Jane, 1959


Director: Richard Quine
Stars: Doris Day, Jack Lemmon, Ernie Kovacs










I seriously love this movie.

Jane Osgood (Day), a widowed mother of two living in a small New England town, raises and sells lobsters for a living. When the Eastern and Portland Railroad fails to deliver her lobsters on time, as she paid them to do, the result is a load of dead lobsters. She and her friend George Denham (Lemmon), also her lawyer, begin to fight the big corporation, which is run by Scrooge-like Harry Foster Malone (Kovacs).

It's a classic David-vs-Goliath story. With romance and small town charm.

This is on my "to-buy" list. It's definitely worth owning! Best marriage proposal scene ever!
