Never Say Die Elliott Nugent

Hypochondriac millionaire John Kidley (Bob Hope) was told he had only one month to live. Tycoon's daughter Mickey Hawkins (Martha Raye) was told she'd be cut off if she didn't marry within her class. John gallantly proposed, so that Mickey'd inherit his money and be able to wed her bus driver true love (Andy Devine). What will happen when John's diagnosis is corrected? Wacky farce, co-written by Preston Sturges, also stars Gale Sondergaard, Alan Mowbray, Monty Wooley. 82 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
