Interesting facts

  • Based on: Up in Mabel's Room
  • Awards: 0 · Nominations: 1

Up in Mabel's Room is a 1944 American comedy film directed by Allan Dwan and starring Marjorie Reynolds, Dennis O'Keefe and Gail Patrick. It is based on the 1919 play by Wilson Collison and Otto A. Harbach. The film's composer, Edward Paul, was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Score in 1945.

Production

Edward Small bought rights in October 1941. He paid $25,000 for the rights and spent another $50,000 on adaptations that satisfied the Hays Office. This meant the film – which was to star Ilona Massey and Louis Hayward and be made after Twin Beds – took longer to make than anticipated.

Joan Bennett was announced to play the female lead but dropped out, reportedly over billing. Gail Patrick stepped up to the lead and Binnie Barnes took over her role.
