Ricochet Romance (1954)
Marjorie Main is the whole show in the Universal programmer Ricochet Romance.

Lamont moves the proceedings along with style, never missing an opportunity for a low-comedy slapstick turn. The most surprising aspect of Ricochet Romance is that it is not an entry in Marjorie Main’s Ma and Pa Kettle series.
