Ticket to Paradise

Roger Pryor is discovered wandering around the streets of Chicago. Since he has no memory of anything, psychiatrist Luis Alberni gets him a job as a taxi driver, since that is apparently the qualification in America. He annoys Wendy Barrie, but they fall in love. Her father, Claude Gillingwater points out that Pryor may be married.

Director Aubrey Scotto clearly know he has a situational comedy here, but the situations are not very funny, and it's hard for the movie to be charming with Gillingwater's patented grouch act around. Miss Barrie is charming as always, just the right role in a good movie away from stardom... which she never really got. Mr. Pryor was another matter. He got many a chance, including with Mae West, but in his own words, "I never felt I was very good and in seventy-two features I don't think I improved very much." He retired from acting in 1947 and went into advertising. He died in 1974, aged 72.
