The Lady In Question (1940)(DVD)

Synopsis: Six years before their sensational pairing in Charles Vidor's erotically charged Gilda brought them stardom, a still youthful Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford appeared in this reworking of the French classic, Gribouille. Brian Aherne stars as a kind-hearted French family man who, called to jury duty, takes pity on the accused (Hayworth).

He gives her a job and lodging in his home, causing numerous upheavals and complications involving his wife (Irene Rich) and son (Ford). This curious, occasionally irritating but entertaining mix of bluff domestic comedy and near tragedy is decently acted, with Hayworth ravishingly lovely and quite touching.
