(1942) The Male Animal
COMEDY DRAMA
Totally outdated which wouldn't be watchable had I not recognized it's two veteran actors of Henry Fonda and Olivia De Havilland. Adapted from the play by James Thurber and Elliott Nugent, which involves English professor, Tommy Turner (Fonda) refusing to be dictated by school board, allowing one of his students, Michael Barnes (Herbert Anderson) to publish controversial editorial. Meanwhile, both Tommy and his wife, Ellen Turner (Olivia de Havilland) are also inviting an old colleague, named Joe (Jack Carson) who used to be one of Michigan's biggest football college stars. And Joe conveniently had just broken up with his wife too. Did I mention that this movie is outdated since most testosterone guys these days, particularly jocks enjoy sleeping around even if they're married.
