On this day in 1942, COLUMBIA PICTURES released THE TALK OF THE TOWN. Directed by GEORGE STEVENS, this romantic comedy about a stuffy law professor and an escaped political prisoner smitten by the same woman was nominated for seven Academy Awards. Heading the cast were CARY GRANT, JEAN ARTHUR, RONALD COLEMAN, EDGAR BUCHANAN and GLENDA FARRELL. A comedy with a little something for everyone.
