The Laugh Parade: Miracle of Morgan's Creek

on BBC One London

Tonight's film in this season of comedy films stars Betty Hutton, Eddie Bracken with William Demarest, Diana Lynn

Trudy Kockenlocker hit her head jitterbugging and can't remember anything except she thinks she married a soldier. Pregnant, and with no evidence of a wedding, she tells her childhood sweet-heart Norval Jones, who tries to help - and how!
So begins the story of the wildest of all the Preston Sturges comedies - and the only one of these classics not yet seen on BBC-tv.
As well as hilarious performances from the stars, two fugitives from The Great McGinty - Brian Donlevy and Akim Tamiroff - put in guest appearances.
