Movie Reviews of It Happened to Jane
Movie Review: Just Did Not Trick My Switch
Summary: 3 Stars
I love Doris Day and Jack Lemon, but togeather they just didn't seem to make a good match to me. The movie is slow and the plot is what I did not enjoy. Her yelling George a lot of the time just was to boring for me.
Summary of It Happened to Jane
Jane is trying to support her 2 young children by running a lobster business. After one of her shipments is ruined by inattention at the railroad station jane decides to take on the director of the line. With the help of her lifelong friend - & lawyer jane sues & ends up with more than she bargained for. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 06/27/2006 Starring: Doris Day Ernie Kovacs Run time: 97 minutes Rating: NrDoris Day was nearing her popular zenith, and Jack Lemmon just hitting his stride, when they teamed up for It Happened to Jane, a small-town comedy in the Capra vein. Doris is a widowed mom whose Maine lobster business is snarled by railroad tycoon Ernie Kovacs (hiding behind a skullcap and a huge cigar), the "meanest man in America." Her lawsuit against him, aided by lawyer-suitor Lemmon, gains national headlines. This is a curious movie: crucial scenes seem to have been left unwritten, while sequences involving Cub Scouts and an oddly impassioned Town Hall Meeting go on endlessly. Director Richard Quine was making some fun movies around this time (Bell, Book, and Candle), but the fizz is only intermittent here, mostly provided by Lemmon's jack-in-the-box youthfulness. Doris sings a couple of tunes and brings her downhome tomboy routine to New York City, where the movie employs some of the quaint TV personalities of the day. --Robert Horton
