Getting Gertie's Garter

Rating:
Summary: Nice try
Review: Marie McDonald is criticized. True I haven't seen her performance in Living in a Big Way which most people call horrid. But in this she's pretty good. Dennis O'Keefe plays a man whose been summoned to court to bring forth a garter he bought back a couple of years ago. Only he gave it to old girlfriend Marie McDonald and they spend the whole movie trying to hide this secret from others. The joke died down by the last twenty minutes. Another problem with the movie is that there is no chemistry between the wife played by Sheila Ryan and Dennis O'Keefe. But there is between Dennis and Marie. Marie wears some outfits that say why she was called "the body." She also hums a tune that makes you understand why she was once a Tommy Dorsey singer. There is a good surreal scene in a courtroom as well.
