Mr. Belvedere Rings the Bell

The 1948 stage play "The Silver Whistle" was retooled to become the final comedy in which Clifton Webb starred as Lynn Belvedere, the dapper British polymath. Here, Belvedere masquerades as an elderly man in order to infiltrate a seniors' home and investigate the pitfalls of growing old. In the process, he becomes an inspiration to the aged residents while playing Cupid for a lovestruck minister. With Joanne Dru, Zero Mostel. 88 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
