The War Against Mrs. Hadley (1942)

Cultured woman counts the onset of WWII as a bother that shouldn't affect the gracious living of her family. Not played for laughs, but it should've been…that might have been a good movie. As it stands, all it winds up being is a heavy-handed lesson movie about how everyone should be pitching in a time like this...those who help find love & purpose; those who don't are lonely and sour. Consider the release year: it's rah-rah Americanism, pure and simple.
