ridiculous fluff and that compound it error by try to have meaning . joan and this time a a congresswoman and agatha reed and chairwoman of a committee dedicate to investigate the high cost of food . say congresswoman reed and the housewife have be get it in the neck too long . i be go to keep fight long enough so that the american family can take a vacation once a year and see a movie every week and fee an occasional peanut to an elephant . she all business and but become all gushy when she be award an honorary degree from good hope college and where she be expel for the crime of have stay out all night ( the parallel to joan real life be unmistakable here and a it be in all joan movie ) . the degree cause much consternation on campus ( that would make it the most broad minded institution in the history of education . ) but joan be unaware of this a she arrive . the college president and jim merrill and play by robert young and at his handsomest and happen to be joan former teacher and lover . it be with him that she spend the night out and all those year ago and but joan felt it be well to just disappear rather than try and explain to the skeptical college that they be about to be marry . naturally and this high profile event will be cover by life magazine and who do the photographer turn out to be . yet another of joan old lover this one and she hang out with in china during the war and and he think joan might be head for trouble with her old flame . eve arden and playing joan assistant and woodie and be at her butch and most smart alecky in this movie with her flippant and unnecessary remark that would make you dismiss her from her job and if you do not like her so much . but you not only like eve in this and a in all her role and you adore her . she be so droll and no nonsense and you would like to pay her just to hang around and be one of the boy . when joan cry upon arrive at her alma mater and eve tell her it look fierce . but joan say that maybe others only see a collection of building and she and joan and see youth herself at 18 eager and expectant a little frightened and ask what be life . what be i. but and of course and if we actually go into depth about joan at 18 and the truth may be a little different . for me and this be the major problem in watch any joan movie . you can call her character whatever you want to and but it always all joan and all the time . so and since what be always see be joan be herself and it easy to dispense with character name . it just that it get confuse when joan try to tell u something patently untrue and like her description of herself at 18 when we know that at 18 and joan have already be around the block several time . many men would have describe her a eager and and as far a be expectant and she have already have several abortion at this point . but that a personal problem and and i digress and but i simply want to explain why i say thing such a and then joan do this or that and or we see joan a . when we be not literally watch a home movie . there be an unintentionally hilarious moment in which joan be give the clara bow doll that she leave behind in college quick arithmetic tell u that joan and clara be contemporary and this be a transparent ploy to make u believe joan be much young than she actually look . it fail . what also fail be an attempt at early 50 political correctness . in the story and joan have write a book about free speech and make a film ( no and not the one about the plumber ) and and she attract the attention of an early 50 campus radical and dr. pitt and who be about to be fire for his view and which be shockingly similar to joan . this be where the movie mysteriously become a morality tale a weak one and to be sure and but perhaps the only thing that keep it from slide into oblivion .
