  1. Besides the claim from Mr. Bighead.

    The film is "Sailor Beware" 1952

     

    plot: Although allergic to kissing girls, Seaman Melvin Jones (Jerry Lewis), through a fluke TV appearance, gets the undeserved reputation of a great kisser dubbed "Mr. Temptation" and is pursued by amorous young females.

  2. The film may have been based by your cousins court case. But the film doesn't say anything about whether it was based on a true story. Here a bid of trivia in reference to the film.

  3. From IMDb:

    After the film received bad notices from preview audiences, it was extensively re-edited with some new footage shot. Composer Franz Waxman was no longer available so veteran film composer Roy Webb was hired along with Warner Brothers Music Director Ray Heindorf to come up with new cues based on Waxman's original material. The Main Title was altered to add "La Marseillaise" to the tail end. Other cues were rewritten, especially the entire buildup to and including the landing at Le Bourget. This sequence had been more straight forward with Lindbergh landing his plane. In the revised version, he became disoriented and at one point asked for God's help. The Heindorf/Webb replacement cue utilized Waxman's themes interwoven into a stunning cue which was expertly conducted by Heindorf. The cue ends as Lindbergh shuts off the engine. All-in-all, about fifteen minutes of new music was mixed into the final film.

     

     

    vallo (who did cut and paste) sorry......

  4. The film runs 91 mins. But there is an alternate version at 94 minutes. that is what you saw.

    "At 91 minutes long, this has the shortest running time of any film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture.

  5. >One thing that struck me was the great b&w cinematography of nighttime Broadway, circa 1950s. Never seen any better. <

     

    Who else but Cinematography by James Wong Howe, could make the scenes that gritty in New york.

    Kind of the way I remembered New York as a kid before Rudy Giuliani turned Times Square into Disney World Manhattan...
