The Bliss Of Mrs Blossom
 1
9 6 8 (UK)
The dialogue is a step above Benny Hill, but the performances
(Shirley MacLaine, Richard Attenborough, James Booth and even -
briefly - John Cleese) lift it to the level of Noel Coward.
This film is loosely based on a real incident. In the early 1920s,
Dolly Oesterreich kept her lover, Otto Sanhuber in her attic for many
years. Her husband Fred ran a company that made aprons. Otto even
moved with the couple from Milwaukee to Los Angeles to stay above his
lover.
Unfortunately, the real story didn't have the happy ending of the
movie. |
