Lady In A Jam

In 2018 we visited the Phoenix area. 35 miles east of Pheonix area we saw this area in the film. I recorgnized the the Supersition Mountains in the background where they filmed the outdoor shots "out west." 1 or 2 of the buildings are still there as of 2018. It's now a tourist trap sight. At least I can say we walked the same ground as these movie stars, Ralph Bellamy, Irene Dunne, and Patric Knowles, and the supporting players. .

A tourist trap sight for sore eyes.

[@MaritzaAgosto-e1g]

Great film , great actors beyond doubt .

[@donnarouse9432]

I live at the base of south mountain . But have studied up on the superstitions.

[@mikenixon2401]

That's always a fun thought. Glad you had the experience.

[@patsysmothermon7861]

I Believe that Many John Wayne Movies were filmed there,too!!🎉

[@patrickryan1515]

Eugene Palette was in so many great films. Love that froggy voice of his.

[@seren8991]

Irene was born in Kentucky and also lived in Missouri. She has a beautiful voice and great singer. She didn't change her way of talking from katherine Hepburn. She has a beautiful accent.

[@randytracy1742]

I’ve seen this movie before and liked it with Irene dunne at her best in that comedy with Patrick Knowles and Ralph Bellamy and the other cast ! Good flick! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@LuzMartinez-ss6in]

❤ She's so good performance.. Thanks 🙏🙏🙏

[@The-F.R.E.E.-J.]

Excellent comedy, great writing & comedic timing, the whole cast!

[@Cobbmtngirl]

Jane goes down in the well without a light?! 😂 Oh & thanks for the repeated singing of “oh my darlin”. It’ll now be stuck in my head for a while. 😠🤣 Enjoyed this, thanks.

[@judyderieux8484]

She's was amazing. Silly but fun movie....

[@johnmodra9543]

Wonderfully down to earth o. So much open dialogue you could cry with laughter at the foibles of men`

[@optifonik]

this jam’s a gem!

[@MarkSuits-m3j]

Eugene Pallette is always hilarious… in a big deep frog voiced way. Great fun.

[@JoeS-e5s]

Haven't seen this before, thought I'd try and found it to be a delightful comedy. Irene Dunne was fabulous as a scatterbrain female who in the end, gets what she really needed. Lots of fun and thanks for posting.

[@alicedossantos3062]

Luv Irene Dunne

[@checkeredflagfilms]

Strawberry was adorable and a fine actress...and stepdaughter to the director.

[@linnea3314]

The calf roping scene😂😂🎉

[@MaritzaAgosto-e1g]

I surely love ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘 this hilarious 😂 😃 😄 😁 🤣 😅 film .

[@stephanierodriguez3828]

❤❤❤❤❤too funny

[@lianechenier9911]

I love old classic movies, they make me feel like I was born too late in time... 🥀

[@cathyoutland8354]

It's nice to see movies with no sex no cursing and natural talent. I miss the good old classic movies and the real talent. Today trash If only we could turn back time.

[@doolo.13]

I hold the same option,, 20yr old bourbon always helps😂 Irene Dunne was so beautiful❤..

[@michaelterry4394]

Irene Dunne Beverly Hillbillies!

[@davidnorris5675]

Wonderful little film

[@sitbone3]

Never knew this movie existed. Irene Dunne is amazing in this.

[@CroneWisdomSpacemonkey-bg3fm]

Strawberry was hilarious

[@MaritzaAgosto-e1g]

As I must admit , Strawberry 🍓 😋 👌 🤣 😏 😍 😅 is a lovely name .

[@Playsinvain]

I ain’t got no bed

[@jamy8575]

Good movie! Hidden Gem

[@artgonzalez8822]

Cool flick

[@cookiesspirit2329]

Ralph Bellamy is such a delight in this movie.

[@garryferrington811]

Any movie with Queenie Vassar is a must-see.

[@jaydraper2929]

Sometimes a show is so bad that you're compelled to watch all of it.

[@gillyoung2149]

OMG " The Clothes" ..... If Only !!!

[@DennisMiller50]

There is something to be said of these old films. Without CGI, Hollywood went with massive sets, in house orchestra, intelligent screenplay, capable directors, and above all. Fine actors down to the small parts. Have I missed anything?

[@lynndalton733]

In the first 12 minutes of this film they portray a million issues that they don’t know will be addressed very heavily in the future. L O L

[@niecybug1]

I would love to have a car like hers. And, I adore Irene Dunne.

[@cheryldahl9192]

54:47 "He won't vibrate." 🤣

[@Playsinvain]

What a trip🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@donnarouse9432]

She must have taken elocution lessons from Kathryn hepburn

[@janheffernan4792]

OmG class class no Botox i looked like that once. 🎉still do🎉

[@hasina8015]

Funny enough

[@shelbynamels7948]

there is nothing about that car crash in front of the department store that makes any sense, least of all the cop allowing them to leave the scene.

[@LavonMcneal-kw7jx]

Hey Stanley had it going on

[@thomasknight1190]

[@Norfolk250]

0:17:40 According to the inflation calculator for states money, 1942's 10,000$ would be today as 100 ninety thousand 200-40 dalla, and ninety cents in 2025. That's not to mean if you put 10 grand in a safe in 1942 and opened it in January 2025 it would be worth more... it would be worth the same 10 k, but, her spending 10,000$ then, is equivalent to her spending 100-90,000 dollars on something today.

[@JamesSimmons-d1t]

Some fine performers in a fine comedy. January 17, 2025, civilization about to end...finer. I had an great uncle Ray who, in Truth or Consequences New Mexico, had a small gold mine. He and his wife, in 70s, pulled in a few thousand a year when I saw them in 1950s. And now here comes the fools gold presidunce. Oh well, low comedy and idiotic tragedy...hardly Shakespearean, and there goes the planetary neighborhood, but sick humor, schmaltz and crimes are the game to lay, and one might as well get the most out of the very bigliest least. Lease on life at cut throat prices. Drip drip drip, as the Monster put it. With both a bing bing bong and a whole lotta whimpering.

[@ABFischoff1]

This movie is quite funny and truly offensive

[@suzysuzy4799]

❤🙏😇🙏❤

[@leemcdonald5713]

BIG DISAPPOINTMENT ...thought this was a movie about peach preserves

[@JamesSimmons-d1t]

The cottages prove it... Most fiction, and films, are remakes, secretly or with royalties. "It Happened One Night", the Capra film, same time as "The Thin Man"....post Hayes Office crackdown. Good coy.

[@ilprofessore10012]

I often wonder when I see something like this how much better the film would have been had they cast David Niven instead of the handsome but wooden Knowles. La Cava is one of my favorite directors but even he can't get charm out of a chair.

[@lynndalton733]

Interesting. But, one of the things that made me laugh was his deadpan fast delivery. Such as when he’s about to be shot and calmly says “you’d be doing me a favor.” 😂

[@ilprofessore10012]

@@lynndalton733 I think Knowles did a competent job, but he lacked that essential ingredient for stardom, some call it charisma, others sex-appeal. We have only to imagine what a Cary Grant or a Niven would have done with such a role. Grant is even stuffier than Knowles in BRINGING UP BABY, but he knew how to overplay sometimes underplay that quality for comedy. The script for LADY IN A JAM is first-rate, as is La Cava's direction, but Knowles just reads lines most of the time. Sometimes that deadpan delivery helps, most of the time not. This is one of those scripts someone should remake.

[@lynndalton733]

@@ilprofessore10012 I must agree with you on your points and oh! Yaasss! Cary Grant! He can really make me laugh sometimes. One of my faves. To be honest, I’ve never made it through “bringing up baby” that I can recall. I wonder if that’s because of the performances? I’m going to watch it again soon. It may be un-American but I do not put Katherine Hepburn at the top of my list. I enjoy these old movies. “The Ghost & Mrs Muir” Id watch anytime. We could go on for day’s discussing! If you can find some of the pre-code they tend to be hilarious as well. There’s one I remember laughing at so much but I just can’t find it nor recall the title. I recently saw a colorized version of the dance scene from “Metropolis” with an added music track. (I’m not sure if it’s one that has been already produced for this movie over the years or which one if any). It is mind blowing.

[@rogerpropes7129]

Katharine Hepburn and Joan Davis must have turned this role down.

[@TheFairyQueen]

Subtle abuse via slapping. Ridiculous behavior.

[@HestiaBHN1]

Not so subtle. I hated that scene, and I could see real anger in Dunnes face after he did it.

[@cherylwilkinson3228]

​@HestiaBHN1 Why would she be angry? She knew it was part of the script.

[@intuitknit]

This woman is a female 45

[@HestiaBHN1]

Its stunning, the amount of misogynistic remarkes by men in this movie. They just keep coming, one after another, each one more patriarchally projecting than the last,.I wish Irene Dunne had given this role a miss.

[@cherylwilkinson3228]

That was pretty common in movies back then.

[@Playsinvain]

All women are a little techted
