During World War II, civil servant Connie Milligan (Jean Arthur) decides to turn the housing shortage in Washington, D.C., to her advantage. But when she rents out her four-room apartment to two men -- aging millionaire Benjamin (Charles Coburn) and young, handsome sergeant Joe (Joel McCrea) -- Connie gets more than she bargained for, including Benjamin taking on the role of matchmaking cupid. George Stevens directs.

Serious-looking, silent-screen cowboy Bob Custer co-starred with a very young, brunette Jean Arthur in this middling oater produced by the B-Western mill FBO. While romancing the millinery store owner (Arthur), Custer finds himself falsely accused of murdering his boss and is soon fleeing from a vicious lynch mob. Prolific screenwriter George Hively concocted this not-too-taxing story, which, not unexpectedly, climaxed in a scene where Custer captures the real killer (the typically ruthless Buck Moulton). ~ Hans J.

Arthur retired from films in 1953. She chose her swan song to be, like the films she had started in, a western—George Stevens’ Shane. She died on June 19, 1991, having lived her life in her own, individual way.

George Stevens' Talk of the Town is a quick-witted comedy driven by wonderful performances by Cary Grant, Ronald Colman and Jean Arthur. Michael Lightcap (Colman) is a stuffy law professor in line to a Supreme Court appointment, who is spending the summer at the house of schoolteacher Nora Shelley (Arthur). But Lightcap is not the only guest at the house.
