The Talk of the Town

Law professor Lightcap (Ronald Colman) expresses his displeasure with his reception then dismisses his new landlord Nora (Jean Arthur), whom he still doesn't know has escaped accused killer Dilg (Cary Grant) hidden upstairs, in George Stevens' The Talk Of The Town, 1942.

Escaped convict Dilg (Cary Grant) reveals himself to vacationing Professor Lightcap (Ronald Colman) but is rescued by landlord Nora (Jean Arthur) who announces that he's only Joseph, the gardener, in George Stevens' The Talk of the Town, 1942.

Judge Lightcap (Ronald Colman) has shaved his beard so that beautician Regina (Glenda Farrell) will not recognize him as he tiptoes into investigating the whereabouts of her presumably dead boyfriend, in George Stevens' The Talk Of The Town, 1942, co-starring Jean Arthur and Cary Grant.

Director George Stevens has so far given no indication that jail escapee Leopold Dilg (Cary Grant), fleeing a manhunt, is not guilty of arson and murder, as he comes upon Miss Shelley (Jean Arthur), with whom he is clearly acquainted, still early in The Talk Of The Town, 1942.

Professor Lightcap (Ronald Colman) arrives early to take possession of the cottage owned by Nora Shelley (Jean Arthur), who has just hidden fugitive Leopold Dilg (Cary Grant) in her attic, director George Stevens not having made clear why she would do that, in The Talk Of The Town, 1942.

Furious opening credits for George Stevens' The Talk Of The Town , 1942, followed by the introduction of Cary Grant in the unusually dark role of accused arsonist and murderer Leopold Dilg.
