Arliss Alert! A SUCCESSFUL CALAMITY (1932) with Mary Astor & Randolph Scott – Monday, May 3 @ 6:30 AM EST

Mr. A stars in this gossamer-light comedy of a wealthy man who feigns poverty so his family will stay home with him evenings. Mary Astor plays his wife(!) and much is made of the big difference in their ages. And is Mary playing around with her Italian music teacher?

Mr. A has a daughter played by Evalyn Knapp:

and a son played by William Janney:

Will the family rally around Mr. A? All I’ll tell you at this point is that Mary Astor leaves and takes her jewelry with her, leaving behind a note for Mr. A. How will Mr. A resolve this dilemma?

Now enjoy the original preview trailer and catch the feature on Monday morning, May 3, at 6:30 AM eastern time!
