Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Tom, Dick and Harry (1941)

Flighty cutie finds herself engaged to three men and has to make up her mind which she'll pick. I'm not sure why any of these guys fell for her in the first place as she's one of those annoying baby-talking types who -- let's face it -- has a wandering eye.

There are several bizarre dream sequences in which she imagines married life with each of the guys (and, in one case, ALL of the men at once). Most of these dreams involve children who are simply scaled-down adults, a more disturbing image than you'd think.

Burgess Meredith as one of the suitors has charm to spare, but that's not enough to make up for the lack of charm in everyone else OR the dearth of humor.
