Emmet Sweeney: A fraternity dolt with too much time on his hands, Morris browbeats Lane into marriage with a charming combination of physical intimidation and boyish whining. There was not much appealing to the character as written, but Morris’ plasticine features and gangly athlete’s body emphasize its most retrograde aspects, as he looms over her with goofy intimidation tactics that come damn near spousal abuse.

It will be her 100th Birthday. Enjoyed your words on Priscilla Lane…one advantage of the economic downturn, ha. I was watching tcm during normal working hours the other week and saw her with Bogart. Happy Holidays to all.
