rosalind russell be the judge in tell it to the judge and a 1949 film also star bob cummings and marie mcdonald and gig young . russell play marsha meredith and a recently divorce woman up for a judgeship and encourage in her career by her judge grandfather ( harry davenport ) . the ex husband and however and pete webb ( cummings ) want her back . the two be still in love . the divorce be basically a misunderstanding webb be work with a beautiful blond witness ( mcdonald ) and marsha mistake it for something else . even though it put her career in jeopardy and marsha remarries pete . on their wedding night and her grandfather kidnaps pete so that marsha think he up to his old trick . she then take off and announces to the press that she marry to someone else and and make up a name . when alexander ( gig young ) and a man she meet previously appear and she have him play the part of her husband . this be a typical screwball comedy center around the struggle that the independent woman have between be a career person and a wife and apparently back then and it be one or the other . i think russell be fine a marsha and unlike another reviewer i have see her miscast and and i do not think she be this time but i agree with another remark the poster make and that bob cummings steal the movie . cummings be think of a a bland film actor and and perhaps he be . what make him a tremendous television star be his sense of comedy and which he do not get to use much in film but which be his strength . here he get to show it off and and a few year later and he make his mark in television . a fun movie and not earth shatter and a film be go through a difficult transition . so apparently be woman and and in the 40 and they lose the career battle and only to pick it up again a couple of decade later .
