Everybody Does It: Linda Darnell is the opera star who, with hilarious results, encourages Paul Douglas to embrace an operatic career.
EVERYBODY DOES IT
Cast: Paul Douglas, Linda Darnell, Celeste Holm, Charles Coburn. 20th Century -Fox
Here's one of the funniest movies of the year. Celeste Holm is a socialite who's always wanted an opera career. Her mother (Lucille Watson) encourages her, her father (Charles Coburn) goes and hides in the liquor closet the minute she lets out a mi-mi-mi, and her husband, Paul Douglas (a man from the other side of the tracks), is confused but gallant. He simply hires a concert hall for $3,000 for an afternoon, and then he and his business partner (Millard Mitchell) force all their friends and customers to take tickets, so that Celeste will have a good debut. Paul thinks Celeste will get the whole thing out of her system, and settle down. But the friends clap so loudly at the debut that Celeste decides to go on a concert tour. Paul's desolate. He wouldn't mind if she were a good singer, but she's lousy. He's told ihis by a real opera star (Linda Darnell) who takes a fancy to him. Linda's intentions are anything but honorable, yet he likes her. She's a straightforward sort of girl. Linda discovers, furthermore, that Paul himself has a remarkable baritone voice, and coaxes him to go on a concert tour with her. ("If you develop into a better singer than she is, she'll have to give up singing.") Paul tells Celeste he's off on a business trip, takes an assumed name, and departs with Linda. He does marvelously well on the concert stage, but in his absence, Celeste has come a cropper. Got the bird, from a Saturday afternoon movie crowd. ("Real high-class vaudeville," her agent had assured her. "Bill you as a 'society thrush.' ") There's a bust-up between Celeste and Paul, there's Paul's ultimate appearance in opera, hilarious and horrible; the whole picture's a delight. Millard Mitchell pleased me more than anybody, though. Take the time Linda's talking to Paul over the phone. Mitchell leans back in his chair and sighs. "I made one of them blind dates once," he says. "In walked a girl who looked like an old third-baseman."
