It Happened to Jane
It's bigger than all of us!
Directed by Richard Quine
Produced by Columbia Pictures
A bright, charming 1950s romantic comedy about a spirited small-business owner who stands up to a railroad magnate, with warmth, humor, and a budding romance at its heart.
Jane Osgood runs a lobster business, which supports her two young children. Railroad staff inattention ruins her shipment, so with her lawyer George, Jane sues Harry Foster Malone, director of the line and the "meanest man in the world".
