Classic Comedy

Last night we watched The Trouble with Angels (1966).
Two young rambunctious girls attending catholic boarding school.
The lead troublemaker is played by a 20 year old Hayley Mills.
Mother Superior is wonderfully played by Rosalind Russell.
Also of note: Mary Wickes played one of the nuns.

This morning we watched another comedy from the sixties.
With Six You Get Eggroll (1968) has an intriguing title.
Its about two widowers that marry and try combining families.
The mother, Doris Day, has three sons (one is a teenager).
The father, Brian Keith, has just one teenage daughter.

I wholeheartedly recommend both movies above to anyone.
Sadly we followed those with Millions (2004).
Its an okay family drama but NOT a comedy.
