I never did assess the location for this film, NOLA? A Funeral March to beat the band for a woman who never seemed to have any kind of social life let alone supportive of her "Lodges". However, "Six Feet Under" had nothing on this spectacular display with the syncopated slow march, impressive!!
Perhaps DayCare was free in those days? If not, why does she balk at a paycheck for someone who will take over that role plus cook, clean, and give awesome foot rubs after a long day. It just seems every movie made during the 30's and 40's always manages to afford a maid or housekeeper who is slavishly devoted to their employer. I never even trusted one to come in for a few hours a month!
I prefer this original version to the remake because Lana Turner just could never match the talent of Colbert. I thought she would go insane wearing the same outfit 24/7 in "It Happened One Night" but they made up for it with the many beautiful costumes she wore in this film. Colbert was a beauty and a natural to boot!
High recommend for Colbert fans, racial issues dealt with beyond the era, and the final two lines of simplicity: I Want My Quack Quack!
