Reviews for The Affairs of Annabel
Review - Affairs of Annabel, The
Stupid, and Jack Oakie was very annoying. Lucille Ball was cute, but even that could save this turkey.

| Description: | Annabel (Lucille Ball) is a movie star whose career is in need of a boost. Studio PR guy Morgan (Jack Oakie) puts her in a string of situations to try to boost her popularity. First he gets her committed to prison (to prepare for a movie role), and then takes a month to get her out. He then convinces her to become a maid (again, for a role), but everyone in the house she's serving in is held for ransom by kidnappers. The police think Annabel is in on it because of her prison record. She manages to disarm the kidnappers herself and becomes a hero. To prepare for a movie about diamond smugglers, Morgan plants diamonds on her and then tells the police. |
