    Don't you just love her explanation in "Life with Father" as to why the suit won't cost her husband any money? She's a scream!!

    My favorite Irene film is "Penny Serenade." I also really love her in "Magnificent Obsession." Of course, I'm a drama gal, as opposed to a comedy one, so that's why I lean to those films.
