My Sister Eileen

(1942)Directed by Alexander Hall96 minComedy
“NOW ON THE SCREEN! THE STAGE HIT THAT CONVULSED BROADWAY AND THE NATION !”

Ruth Sherwood (Rosalind Russell) leaves Ohio for New York with one plan, to make it as a writer, while her sister Eileen (Janet Blair) is set on the stage. They land in a dismal basement apartment in Greenwich Village, where an odd assortment of neighbors keeps wandering in and out. Alexander Hall gives the sisters a magazine editor, Bob Baker (Brian Aherne), whose interest in them is not only professional.
