U.S. label ClassicFlix has confirmed that it is preparing a brand new restoration of Norman Z. McLeod's screwball comedy Merrily We Live (1938), which will be released on Blu-ray this summer.
Synopsis: Hilarious farce concerns a dizzy socialite with a penchant for hiring ex-cons and bums to help tend to her family's needs. After an unshaven writer shows up at her door asking to use the phone, she mistakenly believes him to be a tramp and gives him a job working as a servant. Quickly, her new employee uses his life skills to get the household in order as he falls for her eldest daughter. Starring Constance Bennett, Brian Aherne, Ann Dvorak, and Billie Burke. Nominated for Oscar Award for Best Cinematography (Norbert Brodine).
