The Trouble with Women

From Hollywood, the NBC Theater presents Nine Directors' Assignment, Production, The Trouble with Women, Director Sidney Landfield, Star Ray Milan The Hollywood Screen Directors present a comedy with an apology to Psychology, The Trouble with Women, starring Ray Milan and introducing the director of the film, Sidney Landfield.

It was in the days when Vaudeville was bright and shining that the soft-spoken young comedian happened to be performing in Hollywood. It also happened that the film studio at the time was looking for a clever new comedy writer.

The comedian got the job, and that's how our guest screen director tonight was ushered into motion pictures. He stayed to become one of Hollywood's most skilled directors, the creator of such fun-filled entertainment as my favorite blonde, standing room only, and the well-groomed bride.

Ladies and gentlemen, the director of The Trouble with Women, Mr. Sidney Landfield. Thank you. After an introduction like that, I think I should mention that a comedy is only as amusing as its story and its cast. As for the director, well, he just puts those two things together.

In the case of the Trouble with Women, it was a particular pleasure, both because of my great admiration for Ray Milan and because of the story itself, which presents a completely cock-eyed approach to romance. Now here it is, the Trouble with Women starring Ray Milan in his original role of Professor Gilbert Sedley with Mary Jane Croft as Kate Ferrell.

I'm from the Morning Journal, Professor Sedley. How about a statement on your new book? Yeah, you've beaten up any women lately. Sorry, no statement. I have a heart. We're only reporters. If you people are from the press, Professor Mila and myself can give you nothing but sympathy.
