The Miracle of Morgan's Creek Overview:
The Miracle of Morgan's Creek (1944) was a Comedy - Romance Film directed by Preston Sturges and produced by Preston Sturges.
SYNOPSIS
While this celebrated screwball comedy may not rise to the sophisticated heights of his previous masterpieces The Lady Eve (1941) and The Palm Beach Story (1942), Sturges's familiar blend of fast dialogue and zany slapstick is still apparent. Hutton finds herself pregnant after a night with a soldier she thinks was named "Ratsky-Watsky or something like that" and needs to find a husband, a position that falls to milquetoast bank clerk Bracken. What follows is a chaotic assault on everything sacred in WWII America: motherhood, the military, and family values.
