Molly and Me

Molly and Me is a 1945 American comedy film directed by Lewis Seiler and starring Monty Woolley, Gracie Fields, Reginald Gardiner and Roddy McDowall and released by 20th Century Fox.

In 1937 London, struggling vaudeville actress Molly Barry grows tired of searching for roles and applies for a job as housekeeper for upper class gentleman John Graham.

She informs her friends and fellow actors, Lily and Julia, about her plans, and persuades former exotic dancer Kitty Goode, who has married into the peerage, to provide a fake reference.

The next day, Peabody sends Molly a telegram telling her to prepare a formal dinner to which influential Sir Arthur Burroughs, publisher of a big London newspaper, will be a guest.

The new staff celebrate in the kitchen, particularly pleased that the common English fare Molly improvised for dinner impressed Sir Arthur much more than food "of subtlety and distinction".

Molly tells Graham that "something has happened," but before she can go into detail, he assures her that he has full confidence in her ability to fix any problem.

Graham later remarks that he has been spoiled by Mrs. Barry’s late night snacks and wonders if she could fix him another one, preferably in the kitchen.
