The Mating Season
The comedy of the year!!!
Directed by Mitchell Leisen
Produced by Paramount Pictures
A light-hearted romantic comedy built on mistaken identity and family misunderstanding, celebrating warmth and good-natured chaos.
Ellen McNulty leaves her New Jersey hamburger stand and heads west to pay a surprise visit to her son and his new bride. When Ellen arrives, her daughter-in-law mistakes her for the maid she has hired for a big party they are throwing. Rather than cause any embarrassment, Ellen goes along with the charade, which leads to many complications.
