Oh! What a Nurse!
Live music by Donald Sosin
Older brother to Charlie, Syd had his own on-screen career making something of a minor specialty out of female impersonation. Here, as an ambitious cub reporter, he gets “all dressed up” to foil a plan to steal a young heiress’s fortune in a slapstick farce that originated in the highbrow minds of Robert E. Sherwood (The Best Years of Our Lives) and Bertram Bloch (Dark Victory).
