If You Could Only Cook

A chance park bench meeting between wealthy but unhappy auto magnate Jim Buchanan (Herbert Marshall) and unemployed Joan Hawthorne (Jean Arthur) leads them to answer a classified ad posted by mobster Mike Rossini (Leo Carrillo), who’s looking for a married pair of house servants. Jim shines thanks to tips from his own butler, but what happens when Joan’s a disaster in the kitchen? Lionel Stander, Frieda Inescort co-star. 72 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
