Classic Film: Fancy Pants

(1950, 92 minutes, Color) Directed by George Marshall

An American actor (Arthur Tyler) impersonating an English butler is hired by a nouveau riche woman (Effie Floud) from New Mexico to refine her husband and headstrong daughter, Aggie. The complications increase when the town believes Arthur to be an Earl, and President Roosevelt decides to pay a visit.

Fancy Pants is the first movie in our new film series, "Laughter is the Best Medicine: A Tribute to Women Comedians in Cinema." This series is featured in conjunction with our upcoming exhibit "The Heart Truth's Red Dress Collection," opening Oct. 1 and focusing on heart disease in women.
