Yeah, but do you remember why Leo McCarey couldn't direct My Fave Wife?

And got Kanin to do it for him?

Thanks for the clippings. Interesting also that Anne Sheridan was Warner's choice for MEET JOHN DOE.

I can see I have more research to do.

O.K., Professor TwoLegsGood, I have completed the assignment.

"According to modern sources, Garson Kanin stepped in to direct portions of the film after Leo McCarey was involved in a near-fatal car accident."
