Love Nest

First meeting of Frank Fay (as Paterson, though he went by another name at his previous residence) with William Lundigan and June Haver (as returned veteran Jim and wife Connie), his prospective landlords, in post-WWII Manhattan, in Love Nest, 1951, from a novel by Scott Corbett and script by I.A.L. Diamond.

Novice Manhattan landlord Connie (June Haver) greets Roberta, a.k.a. “Bobbie” (Marilyn Monroe, her first scene), war-buddy of her returned-veteran husband Jim (William Lundigan) who earlier did, in fact, start to mention her gender, in 20th Century-Fox’s Love Nest, 1951.
