DVD Reviews of Love Nest
DVD Review: A fifty cent haircut for a dollar twenty five??
Summary: 4 Stars
Love Nest is a good little comedy that probably would have been long forgotten if Marilyn Monroe fans did not buy it. The cover is misleading because Marilyn never appears in uniform in the movie. Her part is small, but like all her early roles, she used every second of her camera time to make herself known, thus becoming the star we all love.
Mr. Scott is a vet returning from World War II. His wife has purchased a tenant house in the city, a fixer upper. The rent from the tenants will permit Mr. Scott to pursue his writing. Among the tenants are Edie the widow and her daughter, Marilyn who is a returning WAC, causing some jealousy from Mrs. Scott, a con man, and the "Mm-Hmm Man". The only two lines the guy has in the movie is "Mm-Hmm".
The con man goes after old widows and scams them out of their money. He claims he is doing it for all men, because the men worked themselves into an early grave, leaving their wives with money they did not earn or deserve. He begins his scam on Edie, but after realizing she is poor, he ends up falling in love with her an eventually marries her.
Meanwhile poor Mr. Scott has his hands full with the house. The plumbing is bad, the coal is delivered in through the bedroom window, and the place is about to be condemned because of bad wiring. His writing isn't going so well either. His first story has been rejected. He and his wife begin fighting and he leaves to sleep outside in his hammock. Unfortunately, Suds the cat decides to wreck havoc on him. Mr. Scott ends up sleeping in Marilyn's apartment while she is away for the weekend. He gets caught by his wife, but she has bigger news. She has caught on to the con man's game. Seems the feds have too and shortly after he and Edie marry, the police arrest him. All seems lost, but it works out well in the end.
Mr. Scott writes the con man's story and it turns into a national bestseller. They have plenty of money to fix up the tenant house and everyone lives happily ever after. The con man and Edie are seen walking down the street with their newborn twins.
Marilyn looks great as always. She only appears in this movie for a total of maybe ten minutes, but for Marilyn fans who love to see her in her early work like I do, this is a great addition to your collection.
