Debbie Reynolds Double Feature

The beloved actress passed away at 82 last December. We remember her with two sparkling romantic comedies directed by George Marshall, both released in 1959. Showgirl Maggie (Ms. Reynolds) demands a month of connubial celibacy from her new husband, Air Force sergeant Joe Fitzpatrick (Glenn Ford), in It Started with a Kiss (104 min.). After a brief intermission, we present The Mating Game (1959-96 min.), in which tax collector Lorenzo Charlton (Tony Randall) arrives at the farm of tax dodger Pop Larkin (Paul Douglas) and falls for the farmer’s daughter, Mariette (Debbie).
