Considering the base nature of this screenplay, I'm surprised that I could find it enjoyable on any level, however, there is a large amount of enjoyment to be had.
An elderly showbiz aristocrat arrives for a visit, slips and falls, and ends up appropriating the home of his host couple and their children, the house staff, the telephone, and everything else right down to the entire first floor. Of course, he's not as injured as he has led everyone to believe, and upon (finally) discovery, he flees, only to slip and fall once again on the way out the door.
Lovely performance by all involved, but especially by the beautiful and young Bette Davis. Simply timeless, is her beauty. I have yet to see a Bette Davis performance I did not love, but her performance herein is simply delightful, irascible, and feisty. I love it.
It rates a 7.4/10 from...
