Julia Misbehaves
When her daughter (Elizabeth Taylor) gets engaged, a madcap music hall performer (Greer Garson) tumbles back into the life of her estranged husband (Walter Pidgeon). Please note: We will be screening a 16mm archive print of this film which cannot be cut and mounted onto one reel. There will be brief pauses for reel changes.
“Men! The minute we’re alone, he just wants to kiss me!” So declares a 16-year-old Taylor in a scene from director Jack Conway’s raucous romantic comedy, which features the actress’s first on-screen kiss (with Peter Lawford). In the fifth of her eight screen pairings with co-star Walter Pidgeon, the splendid Greer Garson stars as a second-rate London dancehall actress who travels to France to attend the wedding of her estranged daughter (Taylor), inciting a series of wildly farcical complications involving a Machiavellian mother-in-law (Lucile Watson), an amorous acrobat (Cesar Romero) and a not-quite-ex-husband (Pidgeon).
